He loved the Lord and faithfully enjoyed going to church and was always available to help others. He was a charter member of Morningstar Baptist church of Micaville and helped establish the church and was the choir director for many years.
Brown proudly served his country in the ARMY for 10 years as a Sergeant First Class in WWII and the Korean war. After leaving the army he worked as a butcher, floor refinished, carpenter and painter.
He enjoyed the outdoors and always enjoyed hunting and fishing and worked some with the Wildlife Commission in Yancey County. The Outer Banks of NC was a favorite place for him and his family and close friends to go on vacation to fish. He made many good memories there.
