Christopher Brower Obituary


Christopher Brower, 55, of Broadway, VA, died peacefully at Rockingham Memorial Hospital February 20, 2019.

His parents, Thomas and Gladys Brower; his brother, Tom Brower; and his sister, Gail Brower, watched over him then as well as during his five years at Life Care Center in New Market, VA.

His sister, Jane Brower, predeceased him 2015.

Chris was employed by the Veterans' Medical Center in White River Junction, VT, where he lived with his family for 18 years before relocating to Broadway, VA. His time spent with counselors and friends at Pleasant View, Inc. gave Chris the opportunity to engage everyone he met with his mild mannered warmth and infectious laugh.

He was best know for his love of Rock 'n Roll, Civil War history, movie trivia, woodworking, and an evening beer with his Dad.

Chris remains a shining star to his family and a profound influence on generations of nieces and nephews to be tolerant and appreciative of the imperfections in all of us.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. March 2 at Pine Grove Church of the Brethren, 7876 Simmers Valley Road, Harrisonburg.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Pleasant View, Inc.

It was so beautiful to observe the loving care, kindness and sense of humor you gave, not only to Chris ,but each individual you greeted and came in contact with, during his time here....it was observed and noted in such a positive way! ..I can only imagine, Chris in heaven laughing, running, and meeting with some rock and roll music friends, while he awaits us all for a heavenly reunion. Thank you for being the family of Chris...remarkable. And thank you Chris ,for being a shining star! Deepest Sympathy, Terry S..reception Life Care

Uncle Chris and I spent such a large part of my childhood in Vermont coloring in the many coloring books we collected. Everything from rock and roll guitars to animals. He was meticulous in everything he did and he always taught me with a lot of patience and a little work we could create our own perfection. Thank you to my grandparents Tom and Gladys and all our family for believing in Chris from the moment he was born and never looking back. They knew he would make a huge impact on this world and Chris did just that. I'll miss your laugh, but it will never be forgotten. Hug my mom for me up there and tell her I love her too Love, Linds
