Scott Bronner Memorial Service

Longtime Eastbrook Missionary Scott Bronner passed away unexpectedly on August 17, 2013. Scott ran into the loving arms of his Savior Jesus Christ after a 20 year battle with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. He is survived by his wife, Taeko, and three sons, Yujin, Joji, Nowa. He is also survived by his father, Ralph, and brothers, Mark (and Amy) and Eric (and Halli), and he was preceded in death by his mother, Gisela. Wonderfully kind and deeply caring, Scott had a passion to share the love of Jesus with everyone he met, especially with internationals. Scott taught English in Xian, China in the late 1980s.  He also spent several years in Japan teaching English in several universities.  He was involved for years for the international Friday night hospitality ministry that met at David Moberg’s home.  Gentle and giving, Scott was a remarkable Renaissance man. Much could be said about Scott’s volunteer activities, advanced degrees at Carnegie Mellon and UW-Milwaukee, creative teaching abilities in Japan and Lancaster, oboe playing, unique sense of fashion, mission work in China, etc. But Scott would only want you to know one thing: like all of us, he was a sinner who is fully restored and redeemed only because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. The family prays that you all find the peace of Jesus within your hearts.

Although Scott’s funeral was in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this past August where he had most recently been living, we will honor his life in a memorial service on Saturday, December 28, 2013 at 1pm here at Eastbrook. There will be a visitation with the family starting at 12 pm, and a reception in Fellowship Hall following the service.  Taeko continues to carry on their dynamic mission work in Lancaster, where 30-70 internationals gather at their home weekly.  In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations in Scott’s memory to: Commission to Every Nation.
