Andrew Thomas Brown

Andrew Thomas Brown, lovingly known as “Drew”, 34, of Parkton, North Carolina, passed away on September 30th, 2026. Born on August 12th, 1992, small enough to fit in the palm of his father’s hand, Drew was the youngest child of Tammie Brown and Thomas Brown.

Drew had the heart of a Lion and a smile as brilliant as the sun. Known for his athleticism, there wasn’t a sport that posed a challenge. Football was Drew’s favorite sport. He was an explosive superstar running back at both South View and Trinity high schools.

Drew often felt like he was one with nature. This lead him to enjoying landscaping and working outside. His thoroughness and hard work showed every time he finished putting his all into a task.

Drew was a great father and uncle, often spending hours playing with all of the children, especially his son.

Although he wasn’t wealthy, he was rich in kindness. He would always give to those in need.

Drew’s love for his family was immense. He lead his life with passion and wasn’t afraid to profess his love.

Drew was preceded in death by his grandfather Harry James Brown, Nana Jacqueline Ruinette Brown, Maw Maw Catherine Jean Gunn, Aunt Michelle Denise Brown, Great Grandfather Sylvester Lee Brown, Great Grandmother Lorine Woods, and Great Grandfather Thomas Lucci Woods.

He leaves behind his companion Christina Brown; his children, Ezra Brown and ZyAnn Bethel; his mother Tammie Brown; his father Thomas Brown; his siblings, Brandon Shelton (Jennifer Simms), Justin Poage (Caylah Tew), Derrick Poage (Tara Rodriguez), and Amber Brown (Thomas Dove); his Paw Paw Roy Gene Gunn. He also leaves behind his Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews, and Friends.
