Donald was born in Jersey City, NJ, to Helen and Harold Brown. He proudly served his community as a fireman with the Secaucus Volunteer Fire Department. A truly selfless man, he was always there for anyone who needed him, never hesitating to drop what he was doing to lend a helping hand. He consistently put the needs of others before his own, never expecting anything in return. Above all, his family meant everything to him, and there was nothing he wouldn't do for those he loved. He had a way of making everyone around him feel cared for, knowing they could always count on him. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to others will forever be remembered.
