Thomas Bruner Dec. 8, 1930 - Feb. 28, 2004
Thomas Nolan Bruner "Tommy," 73, of Williamsburg Drive in Nicholasville, died Saturday, Feb. 28, at Central Baptist Hospital. Mr. Bruner was a 32-year veteran of public service. He began his public service as a police officer with the City of Nicholasville (1960-1964), then went on to serve as the Jessamine County jailer for 28 years (1965-1993) before retiring because of health problems.
One of his major accomplishments was getting a new, modern detention center built on Maple Street in 1989 to replace the antiquated, century-old county jail on Main Street. He then set up a system to help fund the jail by housing state and out-of county prisoners.
He is survived by three children and their spouses, Teresa Bruner Rose and her husband, Robin, of Winchester, Larry Nolan Bruner and his wife, Teresa, and David Carter Bruner and his wife, Connie, both of Nicholasville; their mother, Eva C. Goldey, of Nicholasville; six grandchildren, Michael Shannon Bibb, Anna Melissa Bibb, Larry Nolan Bruner, Jr., Shawn Thomas Bruner, Daniel Royse Aken, and Ann Katherine Bruner; two great-grandchildren, Kylon Bibb and Kainen Bibb; one brother, Armster Bruner Jr.; six sisters, Edna Compton, Jewell Walling, Dorothy Duncan, Louise Peel, Martha Freeman, and Ann Goldey; a special friend, Hubert Miller, and many other family members.
He was preceded in death by four brothers, Carl, Claude, Robert, and Rollie Bruner.
Services were held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday at Betts and West Funeral Home with the Rev. Bud Preston and the Rev. David McCracken officiating. Burial followed at Bluegrass Memorial Gardens.
Bearers were Barry Waldrop, Michael Bibb, Nolan Bruner, Shawn Bruner, Daniel Aken and Robin Rose. Honorary bearers were Hubert Miller, Merrell Teater, Don Carter, Jimmy Wells, Billy Wayne Poor, James Ray Davis, William "Bowie" Taylor, Jimmy Brewster, Eddie Pike, Bobby French, Johnny Walker, Wallace "Dud" Bruner and George Underwood.
