Eddie Bruner

Mr. Eddie Bruner, age 69, of Brandenburg, KY, entered eternal rest on November 12, 2026. Eddie was born on April 23, 1957, in Columbus, OH, the son of Bennie B. and Frances Lou (Hockman) Bruner.

Eddie had a lifelong love for the outdoors, especially spending time fishing. In his younger years, he enjoyed playing softball, and his love for the game continued through the years as he became an avid supporter of Meade County Baseball. Eddie spent many years working as a poker dealer and supervisor at Caesars in Southern Indiana, but his most cherished role was serving as Sharon's personal assistant.

Eddie's faith was a cornerstone of his life. He was a devoted parishioner of St. John the Apostle Catholic Church and a 4th Degree member of the Knights of Columbus, Father Meder Assembly 3423 and St. Teresa Council 2282, where he proudly served as Past Grand Knight.

Eddie was preceded in death by his mother, Frances Lou Bruner; his son, Bradley Rhodes; his beloved granddaughter, Avery Shacklette; his mother- and father-in-law, Kenny and Martha Barger; and a special aunt, Faye Sedoris.

He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Sharon Bruner; his two daughters, Danielle (Brock) Wiltshire and Sarah (Travis) Shacklette; his grandson, Drake Shacklette; his father, Bennie Bruner; and his beloved fur grandbabies, Stella, Case, Piper, and Ellie. He also leaves behind his longtime friend, fishing buddy, and the brother he never had, David "Louie" Brown; his bonus nephews, Aidan and Grayson Rhodes; and his favorite cousin, Sherry Sedoris.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, with Father Toan Do and Father Michael Martin officiating. Visitation will be held in the church narthex beginning at 11:00 AM and continuing until the Mass at 3:00 PM. Burial will follow in St. George Cemetery, with a dinner afterward in St. John the Apostle Catholic Church cafeteria.
