John Anthony Brothers, born in St. Brides, Virginia, and resident of Chesterfield Co., Virginia, used his first minute of eternal life on January 6, 2020. He was the pastor of his beloved Gill Grove Baptist Church for the past 46 years, touching many lives by showing them Christ. Pastor Brothers sacrificially gave his heart to Christ, his family, and his church family.

He is survived by his sister Jane (Jim) Goins, his big brother (and second father) Bill (Faye) Brothers, brother Marvin (Sue) Brothers, and brother Ricky (Kathy) Brothers. Pastor Brothers will be remembered as a faithful, compassionate servant of Christ who lived what he preached
