BROWN, Angus Alexander July 17, 1981 January 4, 2017 Angus Alexander Brown, 35, was one of Atlanta's most talented young chefs and restaurateurs. His simple yet spectacularly original food fed our city. His kindness and larger than life humor fed our spirits. Born and raised in Atlanta, he attended both The Westminster Schools and Woodward Academy. Angus graduated from Portsmouth Abbey in Portsmouth, RI. Angus was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at College of Charleston, in Charleston, SC. Octopus Bar, the first of several ventures with partner, Nhan Le, was an immediate critical and popular success, and remains the industry favorite for late night dining. Brown and Le went on to open the James Beard nominated LUSCA in Buckhead and the acclaimed 8ARM in Poncey-Highland. Another Atlanta based restaurant, AMA, was in the works. Angus will be remembered as much for his infectious charm as he will for his profound impact on the local culinary scene. Angus is predeceased by his father, George Brown, IV. He is survived by his mother, Terry Walker Brown, his sisters, Mackenzie Brown Bartlett and Terry Henegar Carlton Brown, his brothers, George "Fiver" Brown V and Walker Fordham Brown. He is also survived by nieces, Georgia Clementine Bartlett and Finley Elizabeth Brown and nephews, Marshall Walker Bartlett and Otis Brown and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. A memorial service will take place at the Cathedral of St. Philip on January 9th at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to the Giving Kitchen.

You rang at 2
All was dark, quiet
I was alone
You were a thousand miles away
Yet in the same place as me
Which is to say, out of reach
I went back and forth
Back and forth
Til your name disappeared from the screen
I'll call tomorrow
But then..

I miss your crazy hair
The wild gleam in your eyes
Hardworking hands with scars
And a story for each one
Possessed with a quick wit
Larger than life
But Your Soul-
Your soul was an ocean of depth
I'm sure it still is,
Somewhere

Here on earth you burned the brightest
Like staring directly at the sun
You do live on you know
Certainly not the same as before
It's fragmented now
And at a much lower decibel
Like a faint glow
Or a soft echo
That only those who really knew you can perceive

I think I miss you most when I'm laughing
There are some moments that are so funny
And I think Wow, he would have loved this
We would have had a field day with this
But it's only half as funny
Because I can't speak your lines
I can't add to it in the way you would
To keep it going longer than it should

Those were the times I felt most alive
So if part of you lives on in me
then it's only fair that part of me died when you did
And though it hurts me so,
I wouldn't have it any other way
Because that emptiness- that space that just lacks- is as strong a reminder as any that you were here and that the world- especially my world- will never be the same now that you are not.

Love you Schmangy!

Angus and I were always horsing around. This is just one of those wonderful "Angus Hugs"!

Dear Schmangy,

Words cannot express the love I have for you. I could not have had better friend. I'll love you forever, I'll miss you forever. "My
patch is your patch." I know you're up there with your dad and Chewy, and Boris! making everyone laugh until their cheeks hurt.

To Angus' beautiful family: Mrs. Brown, Fiver, Walker, Mackenzie, and Terry, I didn't get to meet all of you but I felt like I knew you
from the many stories Angus shared with me through the years. I know how close all of you were despite the miles between you. His love and affection for you all, and his nieces and nephews, was undeniable and incredibly heartwarming.
Terry, I was visiting Angus shortly after your engagement and he was so happy and excited for you. I know he will be smiling down on you on your big day and toasting you guys from the great beyond.

With lots of love and my deepest sympathy,
Alli

Terry and Family-Sincere condolences on this senseless loss from your old Manager at The Paces...long ago....

We will remember him as a young lad with great manners, a bright smile and full of life. May God comfort you all while you grieve.

Our hearts are shattered for the Brown Family, all of Angus' dear friends and colleagues and selfishly for ourselves. To say he left an indelible mark on all of us is an understatement. Right now the only solace we can muster is that eventually we will soon be able to smile more at the mention of our dear Angus' name rather then openly weep. May God forever keep his soul safe and let those who kept him dear in their hearts be faithful in keeping his memory alive. Our family was blessed to have had Angus in our lives and we were so very proud of all of his accomplishments,however all of his culinary accolades paled in comparison to the outpouring of love that has been expressed quite simply because he was just my/your/our Angus.

Angus you were a big kid for me, who knows, maybe God set us together, one day. I had such a huge care and love for you, maybe a maternal thing. I am happy that I did my best to take care of you kid. I also had a big chance to say god bye to you, before Christmas, when I came to your restaurant to bring you some Brazilian treats. You wore so gentle and funny, as always! you gave me a huge hug and cooked for me.
I will really miss you a lot, and l still can not believe that I am not going to see you, anymore!
I pray so God keep you in a very nice place with your loved ones.
I love you kid! I am so sorry that you have to go so young!
Praying for comfort for all your family and friends!

Angus was part of our Colony family. We have missed him since he moved home to Atlanta. Larger than life, he experimented and inspired magic in our kitchens 2007-2011. We miss his food but we miss Angus more.

January 8, 2017

My sympathies are extended to the family, friends, and colleagues of Angus. So young and talented and sure to be missed by all who knew and loved him. May the memories of times shared together strengthen you as you cope with his loss. May the God of all comfort also provide you hope.

What a great loss too soon. Angus, I will miss your passion for life, humor and giving spirit. You were a natural leader that attracted those who knew you to follow but always had time for friends and family. Your taste in music was phenomenal ("Where were you on Christmas Day") and your gift of creating magic in the kitchen was legendary. Thank you for letting me to get to know a piece of you - You will be missed! Huxley Nixon

He was oldest and best friend. Angus mastered his craft and was unrelenting: he had to be the best and was the best. Past achievements were not his concern, just like success wasn't and in this spirit he never rested on his laurels, rather he forgot about the last bullseye because all his attention was upon his next bullseye. This was his year to become an international figure; his sense of humor made him unstoppable. I will miss how he filled the room with his sense of humor and laugh. His charisma lightened the heaviest moments. He taught me to cook and enjoy the entire experience of food. He forced you to participate in life at his level and you always felt special as a result. He had that kind of charm. That is why his vitality was so contagious because he made you feel more alive.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. Angus was one in a million. Now, as we look out into the evening sky we search for the most brilliant, twinkling star because that would be your beloved Angus. We were blessed to have crossed paths and we are devastated by his loss. May you find comfort and peace in each other during this time of sorrow and in knowing he will always be remembered for his kindness, his generosity and his passion for life. Rest in peace dear Angus.
