Brainerd Community Center has been renamed to honor the life and legacy of Chattanooga health advocate Chris Ramsey Sr., who died of complications from COVID-19 in January 2021. He was 54.
The center will now be known as the Chris L. Ramsey Sr. Community Center.
City officials, community members and Ramsey’s loved ones — a crowd of nearly 200 individuals — gathered outside the center Tuesday morning for the renaming ceremony.
Lucrecia Ramsey, the widow of Chris Ramsey, unveiled the building’s new sign before making a short speech.
