Mr. Brown was born on April 11, 1923 in Gladys, VA to Edward and Lula Bell Brown. He was the youngest of nine children. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Mattie Bell Wesley and his son John Edward Brown.
He served his country from 1943 to 1946 in WW II. After his discharge, he was employed by the Department of Defense for 32 years. In his retirement years he filled his life with the things he loved most: gardening, dancing and spending time with family.
He leaves behind his daughter Terri Dawn Brown, her wife Angela Denise Meggs, his grandson, Mason Wesley Meggs and dozens of nieces and nephews.
He will be sorely missed.
