Barry BROWN Obituary
Age 68, of Fairfield, passed away on February 3, 2022, while vacationing in Florida. Born to Earl and Virginia (Steele) Brown, he was a graduate of Fairfield High School and attended the University of Cincinnati. Well-known and
respected as the founder of Barry L. Brown Paving, and of Barry Brown Investment Properties, he ran honest and trustworthy businesses for over 40 years and lived a life of service to his community. He was a good man. In 1972, he married Lisa Mitchell. They raised 4 children, Carri, Corinn, Chad and Cheryl, instilling in them that same love of community and service. They enjoyed 30 years of marriage until Lisa's passing in 2003. Barry was heartbroken until he met and married Sherry Knapp, who brought the light back into his eyes and was his partner in all things for the last 17 years.
He is survived by his wife, Sherry Knapp-Brown; children Carri (Randy) Mefford, Corinn (Nick Marconi) Brown, Chad (Nicole Conyers) Brown, and Cheryl (Alicia Sampson) Brown; grandchildren Micah, Mitchell, Carter, Elisa, Lillian, Grant, Colin, Lyla, Reese, and Christopher; sisters Teri (the late Brian) Pattullo, and Glenna (Roger) Debo.
