To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. This is our promise. We will all miss Charlie, all in different ways. One day, we will re-unite. May God comfort the family.

Charlie was a great inspiration to Debra and I. We knew him to be a good man to everyone. He loved his best friend Marvin like a brother. I remember how they would scrap over who would pay the bill when they went to the restaurant together. We should be so fortunate to have such a rich friendship as this.

I knew Charlie to love his wife and children as deeply as any man could. "Devoted" may not be adequate to describe the love he held for them.

Charlie has run his race with grace and dignity. He now has joy and peace unspeakable in heaven.

Until we meet again Charlie Brown...........

Sorry for your loss. Remember my mom and her sister (who went to school with Charlie) always commenting "oh you mean that good looking handsome Charlie Brown". He was a friendly and kind gentleman. Benny & Doris Brown

Dear Family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet dad. Mr. Brown was one of the kindest men, ever. His smile and love for everyone is something we will always remember. He was sincere and always made our family feel like family to him. He is now reunited with the love of his life and my heart smiles at the thought of him seeing our sweet Tyler as well.
We pray for peace and comfort in all of your lives.
With love,
Jim, Julie and Chandler

I felt privileged to know him and to be His son in law. Just a great Guy in every respect. He was a great Father. If a man is measured by His Children, Charlie was 10 feet tall. Great family.

Dad was a wonderful role model for us, his children. He showed by his example that providing for your family and showing them you love them were the most important things in life. When we were little, we never knew we were poor because Dad made sure we had what we needed. We were rich in the love and care we got from both of our parents. Dad is with Mom now in the best place they can be. God love them!

Dad
We were so lucky to have you as our Dad. You were absolutely the best! I miss you already, but I know Mom is taking good care of you & you are at peace now. We will always remember your warmth and kindness and you made each one of us feel special. I love you Dad forever and always.
