Mr. Brown was born April 2, 1968, in Lamar, to Harvey and Fern Brown. He was an avid outdoorsman, loved fishing and camping and tinkering on cars. He enjoyed time spent with family and friends. He could be seen riding his bicycle that he referred to as his black Cadillac around town. He was a meat butcher by trade and worked at Dale's Packing at one time, along with other places in the area. He loved to cook and took his love of cooking to several local eateries, such as Bamboo House and Tractors. His dad said he was a jack of all trades, working at construction jobs, farming and at Sun Container. He also enjoyed a good game of billiards. His favorite pastime, though, was spending time and playing with his grandbabies.
