John was my twin brother, born 10 mins before myself.
We grew up in a quiet country village called Combs , with our elder brother Michael, mother and father.
Life was very easy going and fun growing up in the middle of the country with nothing but fields to play in . John was always quiet and very studious growing up . Some how we always knew he wouldn't have just a regular job and be happy with the mundane. John would have a job that fitted his personality , and what better than a priest.
John decided from being young , he didn't want to marry or have children. He just wanted to work. And did several job's before becoming ordained as a priest. He gave his life willingly and with out question to the lord . And worked hard looking after his flock .
Both Michael , myself and Michael's wife Elizabeth will miss John a great deal .
His parting leaves us with a great loss and whole in our lives . But not a day will go by when he will not be in our thoughts and prayers

I have known John through the Church and watched his journey with his faith. What a truly lovely man he was.
My Dad , Frank Brown worked with John at High Peak College.
John has pledged his faith and now will work closely with Our Lord. May God Bless his family and friends.
John was an inspiration and will be missed by many.
