Although the family attended a Christian church in rural Nebraska, Bremmer gradually assumed the role of instructor on spiritual matters and took his parents in new directions.
"He was above religion," his mother said. "The way he taught it to us, most religions are like elementary school and the spiritual level is beyond collegiate level - most people can't grasp it. It shocked us, awed us, and then we had to learn more about it."
Memorial services will be held in Denver and Omaha, where other family members live, but Bremmer's parents said they won't attend.
"We're different people because of him," his mother said. "He pointed out how to examine ourselves, how we fit into the universe, how things worked together, and he moved us to a new level of awareness that we would never have considered."
