Charles Duke Brewer, 60, of West Union, Ohio, died as the result of a violent altercation at his home on Island Creek Road in Monroe Township on June 27, 2014. A construction worker and lifelong Adams County resident, he was born September 8, 1953, to Charles R Brewer and Betty June Roush. He is survived by two daughters, Billie Jo Goodwin and Michelle Brewer, two sons, Justin Brewer and Ryan Stevenson, and four grandchildren.

Authorities say the confrontation began with an argument at Brewer’s residence. After leaving the home, the alleged assailant, Roddy Shane Tolle, 43, sought a weapon from several people, including relatives of Brewer, obtained a gun and returned to the property, where Brewer was shot and killed. Witnesses at trial testified that Tolle had threatened to kill Brewer earlier the same day.

Tolle was arrested and charged with multiple counts related to the killing and later found competent to stand trial. Brewer’s family and friends remember him fondly. If anyone knew Charles, his routines, or the events that led to that day, please share what you know.
