W. Leon "Scram" Bramlett

October 26, 1928 — September 22, 2021

W. Leon “Scram” Bramlett was born October 26, 1928, at home on Dee Kennedy Road in Auburn, Georgia to the late W. B. and Arlean Walker Bramlett. He loved to tell the stories of the grief he caused on the family farm, thereby earning the nickname “SCRAM”. He met his sweetheart Mary McDonald in high school marrying her shortly after, started building family and making home where ever they lived.. He was preceded by His Wife, Mary McDonald Bramlett, Son, Jeff Bramlett, and Siblings, Dewel B. Bramlett, Lois Nell Sims, Runette Cronic and Rayford Bramlett.


He spent his life building anything from skyscrapers to wooden crosses, a jack of all trades and skills. Just as he built his life on the foundation of Christ. He loved the Lord above all else, and followed obediently by loving his neighbor more than himself. In knowing Scram, you were excessively aggravated, but knew you were loved. He loved all things in nature, so much so that it spilled in to the lives of his family leaving a legacy of memories for generations.

Scram was a member of Ebenezer Baptist Church and was the founder and scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop #512 and was a member of Auburn Masonic Lodge # 230 F. & A. M. for 53 years.


He left behind his faithful golf cart copilot his dog, aptly named “Scram’s Buddy”, Daughters and Sons-in-law, Diane and Jimmy Stalnaker of Colbert, Georgia and Susan and M. J. Everett of Auburn, Georgia, Daughter-in-law, Cecilia Bramlett of Holly Springs, Georgia, Brother, Raymond Bramlett of Auburn, Georgia, Eight Grandchildren and Nineteen Great Grandchildren and a host of other relatives.

He once said he “loved all children, but didn’t know why” and asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to Masonic Children’s Home, P. O. Box 4183, Macon, Georgia 31208.

The LEGEND OF SCRAM lives on.
