coopdawg Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Many of you know Bill Brimer, former Greeneville HS coach. I am asking the wrestling community to join in healing prayers for Bill, or Billy as many of us know him. His wife posted on facebook "he has been diagnosed with what the doctor is calling stage 4 pancreatic cancer". Bill is a devout man of God and he told me when we spoke this week God has this under control. Thanks for prayers for Billy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopdawg Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Follow up for Billy and Beth. He was in the hospital for about 1-1/2 weeks. Other complications have arisen after a 1-1/2 weeks in hospital, all tubes (feeding and others) have been removed and Billy is home, surrounded by loving family and friends, under hospice care. Thank you for praying. And to the Northeast Tennessee Wrestling Officials Association, your donation on the Billy and Beth Brimer gofundme page is generous, to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sommers Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Bill Brimer, former wrestling coach, dies at 57 By News Sentinel Staff Updated: Yesterday 5:43 p.m. Bill Brimer, who was a wrestling coach for 28 years on the high school level, died at his home Friday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57. Brimer started his coaching carrer as an assistant at Morristown West in 1980. He was promoted to head coach two years after that, before being hired by Tennessee High in 1986. Brimer went to Greeneville in 1996. Brimer coached eight wrestlers to individual state championships, including his son Joel, who won the Division I 160-pound weight class in Brimer's final season at Greeneville in 2008. Brimer was inducted into the Tennessee Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2007. Brimer also coached track and assisted with football during his tenures. After leaving Greeneville, he became an assistant professor of mathematics at Tusculum College. He also served as the minister of music at Tusculum Baptist Church, where he was a member. Visitation and a memorial service was held Tuesday for Brimer at First Baptist Church in Greeneville. In lieu of flowers, the family requested donations be made to the Greene County Fellowship of Christian Athletes or the Tusculum Baptist Church Bill Brimer Memorial Building Fund.
