Brownie passed on October 18th 2010 at the age of 93 on a two-day, turn-around bus trip to Reno with winnings in his pocket; he did it in his style.
His Stories and Jokes will be missed. Daniel lived an exceptionally full and good life. He passed quietly and is now with his beloved wife Marceil.
Daniel is survived by son Dennis Brown, daughter-in-law Wendy, granddaughters Stacey West and Nicola Brown, great-granddaughter Wren West all of Millville and nephew Greg Hawkins of Fall River Mills.
To all who knew him please give him a toast when you are next with loved ones.

I have good memories of Dan from when I was young. He was larger than life and very devoted to his family. Some of my best memories are of the times we got to visit him and Marcel and Lance and Dennis.
I am sorry for his passing but really what a great way to go. Having fun, being able to go and do things up until the end.
My thoughts are with Dennis and his family. Take care.

Dan Brown was one of a kind. Besides being my uncle, he was one of my favorite people. On my last visit, wa again talked about earlier years, including the attack on Pearl Harbor (he was there--immediately enlisted) and the building of Shasta Dam. A favorite conversation of ours was professional athletics, and, to the day, here was no convincing him that modern day superstars were anywhere close to Mickey Mantle or Wilie Mays. He spenc a lot of his younger years as a fastpitck softball catcher on many local and traveling teams. While I never saw him play, I've heard many stories that would indicate he was outstanding. Dan could build or fix just about anything,
While he suffered two major setbacks--the daath of his son, Lance, and later his beloved wife, Marciel, he continued to view life with a positive outlook. While sometimes cliche, he truly made me want to be a better person. I'm glad--but surprised-- he left us with his winnings in his pocket. Undoubtedly he had a smile on his face.
He was one of a kind. I'll miss him dearly.
Greg Hawkins, Nephew
