It's been one year today that you left this earth and it still hurts some days like it was only yesterday! I miss you so so much, but I do know you're loving every second you get to visit with your mom, dad and Mark. I hope you are getting to fish with PaPaw and Mark as much as you can! I miss you so much! I really wish Heaven had visiting hours or a phone to call you. I will see you again one day and until then, save a few jokes to tell me when I get there. P.S. You are now a Great-Great Grandpa, and Mark, a Grandpa. I know you would have loved to meet him and spoil him. I know how much you loved babies and he is so adorable! He is named after Mark (his grandpa) Bentlynn Mark Anthony Brown. ❤️❤️

My father was a kind, smart, funny and the most responsible man I have ever known. I would not have traded him for anyone! He walked all over Nederland and Port Neches making friends and making people laugh, daily, for many years! We will all miss him so much. A part of me went with him!

Mr. Brown was the sweetest and he always had the best jokes to tell me . No matter where I seen him he always came up and talked to me and say your Shaundra’s friend 😆. He didn’t remember my name but he remembered my face . He had a way of putting a smile on anyone he came in contact with . He will be truly missed .
