Mr. Brazzell was born on August 23, 1951, the son of the late Andrew J. Brazzell and the late Louise Brazzell. He was a plumber by trade, working for Richland County School District One until his retirement. Mr. Brazzell was a member of Grandview Baptist Church in Eastover, SC where he was always willing to do anything that was needed. One of Mr. Brazzell’s greatest passions was mentoring young boys though the Royal Ambassadors of the Southern Baptist Convention. He enjoyed being able to teach these young boys lessons from the Bible as well as taking them on track meets within the association. Mr. Brazzell also sang in the church choir and was always willing to cook for church functions no matter how big or small. Faith was important to Mr. Brazzell, and he was ordained as a deacon at the early age of 17. Mr. Brazzell was also a very patriotic man. In his spare time, he enjoyed listening to music, especially hymns and Southern Gospel.
