Not sure what to say?

I ONLY GOT TO KNOW MR BROWN (MR. B) FOR ONLY A FEW YEARS. HE WAS A MAN WHO WAS TRULY RESPECTED AND REVERED ESPECIALLY BY ME. MUCH LOVE AND SYMPATHY GO OUT TO HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. HE WILL BE TRULY MISSED. GOD SPEED ON YOUR JOURNEY MY DEAR OLD FRIEND.

May you find comfort in knowing your departed was loved by many. Hopefully this will ease your sorrow. Linda Terrell and Family

My favorite memories of Deacon Brown go back to the 80's when Church League softball was at it's peak in Oconee Co. Our biggest rival was Bethel Baptist because they were so good. Back then, we all knew each other, and were truly friends. Deacon Brown never missed a game that I can remember, and he would cheer for the opposing team as well as his own. The man was truly an Ambassador for God. He will be missed. God Bless to the family

I moved to Oconee county in '83, and noticed when I went to the PO how everyone came up to Mr. Burrell and greeted him. I thought "this must be and important man in the county". And I came to know that that was true. I loved seeing this rock of the community driving around in his ancient truck, always on a mission to help someone. Carole Ludwig

Mr. Brown was a powerful presence and a masterful storyteller. He will be missed in Oconee.

Our thoughts are with the Brown family. Although we had only recently become acquainted with Mr. Burnell Brown, it was plain to see that he was a gentleman of great merit and was loved dearly. Rev. W. R. Brown had a wonderful grandfather and mentor.

my condollences to all the Brown family in your time of grief.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
