I was fortunate enough to have grown up next door to Mr. Brown. As such, I had a bird’s eye view of his life. He is one of the most genuine, honest, trustworthy and forthright people I have known. He was truly a man of integrity and strong values. He touched my life and numerous other lives in a positive way. He had an insatiable thirst for learning and knowledge and he imparted that knowledge by teaching and helping others, including me. He lived a life of altruism and selflessness and never expected anything in return. He was always helping a family member, friend, neighbor and even strangers. I think he woke up every morning asking himself “who can I help today?” By any true measure of success, he reached the pinnacle of success. One only has to look at his life and his family legacy (i. e. his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren). He left an indelible mark on the world and the world is a better place because of Mr. Brown. He will be sorely missed by all who encountered him. My condolences to the entire Brown family. May perpetual light shine upon him dear Lord and may he rest in eternal happiness and peace.

Mr. Brown was known by all as a caring and kind neighbor. He will be missed during his walks. We all need more people like him. He was full
of spirit.

Dearest Mr. Brown was simply one of the nicest gentlemen in the history of all mankind...He along with his beloved Mrs. Brown were always quick with a welcoming smile and kind greeting or wave of the hand..Their willingness to help others and nurture such friendships as well as tell interesting stories or show someone how to do or fix something has and will span generations...He spent more time in his motorboat pulling all the kids waterskiing and on the sailboat teaching us to appreciate another way of boating, than he did ashore during numerous neighborhood camping trips...May God bless all the Brown family; deceased, living and yet unborn.

I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. He, his wife & family were friends and camping buddies back in the day growing up in Sharpstown. I know he will be greatly missed but I am sure he is happy to be reunited with his wife LaRue. Prayers of condolence to the family.
