Mr. Brown passed away on December 25 ^th , 2019 in Marshall, Texas. He was married to his best friend, Gwynn Brown, for fifteen years; and they were blessed with one precious daughter, Emily. He had a passion for racing and could be found in his shop building or cruising the roads. He was in his element at Yokem Toyota as a Body and Collision Technician for the past twenty years. Through the years with Yokem, he taught and shared his abilities and wisdom with the new guys.

Mr. Brown was the kind of man to help others who were less fortunate than himself.
