Charles Brown Obituary

Charles E. Brown Jr. NORFOLK - Charles Edward Brown Jr. came into this world and into our hearts on June 19, 1972. He left us on Dec. 3, 2010. Charles was a 1994 graduate of Granby High School. Charles, known as "Falfa" to those who knew and loved him, enjoyed sports, including bowling and was privileged to participate in the wheelchair Special Olympics. He was predeceased by his father, Charles E. Brown Sr. and paternal grandparents, Charles and Carrie Brown. He is survived by his mother, Phyllis Lindsey Brown; a special stepfather, Leslie Scoggins Jr.; his sister, Auburne Moore (Herbert); his nephews, Anthony and Alijah; his maternal grandparents, Jesse and Florence Lindsey all of Norfolk; and a great crowd of loving aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.

Jr.was my cousin. I loved him very much. I cant wait until Jehovah call him from the memorial tomb. He will be greatly missed but never forgotton. "And the tent of God is with mankind, and he will wipe every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. The former things have passed away".

I havn't seen Falfa in the last couple of years, but when I last saw him he remembered me and although he was a grown man he was like the same sweet little boy that I had grown to love years ago. I thought of you over the years and I'll always have love in my heart for you Falfa.

Although I've never met Falfa, I was a classmate of his stepfather, and I'd like to extend my condolences to the family at this difficult time....You haven't lost him, he's just gone to a better place.
