Jack Brown Obituary

Jack Henry Brown was born on February 26, 1943 to Jim Kimmel Brown, Sr. and Jimmie Estelle White Brown in Beaumont, TX. Jack served in the U.S. Air Force from 1963 to 1966 serving two tours in Viet Nam. Jack enjoyed playing Texas Hold `Em and all sports. He loved going to Colorado taking four wheel vehicles where only mules were intended. He enjoyed coaching his son's sports teams. Jack had his own special sense of humor but as we grew to know and love him we realized he was a teddy bear at heart, not the grizzly he led us to believe. Survivors include his wife Debbie and son Kimmel Alexander of the home; daughter Kimmerly Ann of Frisco, TX; two grandsons Connor Jackson Yaklin and Harrison Cole Yaklin; brother Jim Kimmel Brown, Jr. of Dallas, TX. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to "People Connected by Cancer" in OKC. Checks can be made out to People Connected by Cancer, and mailed to: Attn: Daniel J. Brackett, Surgery/OUHSC ORB334, 1122 NE 13 St., Oklahoma City, OK 73117. Memorial Service will be held Friday, October 16, at 10 a.m. at New Hope United Meth-odist Church 11600 N Council.

This year will be 13 years since I last spoke with my grandpa. It is unfathomable he has been gone this long. I learned so much from him when he was still on this planet. Not a day goes by where I wish I could show him what I've accomplished thanks to his wise words. Rest easy, grandpa.

Jack used to be my neighbor and Justin and Kimmel were best friends. My dad told me that he and Jack would play catch with me (probably because they didn't have a ball and i was the next best thing). When dad reminded me of that, I didn't think of that as the best parenting but it was fun. It was nice to see Kimmel and you at the house and Debby you were right I did hex myself by faking cripple.
Sincerly, well you probably know.
