Leo Brown Obituary
Dundee - Leo C. Brown, 84, of Dundee died peacefully on Wednesday, December 20, 2017, in his home - surrounded by family. He was born on October 7, 1933 in Dundee in the same house he died in; the Brown Family Homestead (his wish fulfilled), the son of Clem and Frances (Flitter) Brown. On August 29th, 1953 he married Carol M. Hughes at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Campbellsport.
Leo lived a wonderful life and said he wouldn't change a thing. He worked on the family farm, for Gehls, Ram, Michels, etc. and drove truck. Leo was tremendously loved by his children, 17 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren. He was well known and well loved with many friends (impacting many) and was an integral part of Dundee for 84 years. Leo mowed grass and plowed snow for most of Dundee. He had a warm heart, was very generous, proud of his flags and accepting of all. His favorite sayings were "have a good day and don't let anyone ruin it" and"Grandpa loves ya". As his health declined, he fondly reminisced upon his life and often made the comment "I had a good run". Leo was very proud of his family, his home and Dundee.
Survivors include his children Mary (Mike) Bowe of Mt. Calvary, Larry (Diane) Brown of Dundee, Chris (Gary) Liebich of Wonder Lake, IL, Valerie (Mark) O'Loughlin of Dundee and Vicki (Boyd) Stoffel of Campbellsport, his grandchildren Billy (Tammy) Bowe, Angie (Matt) Galligan, Brian (Terah) Bowe, Andy (Shauna) Bowe, Sarah (Joe) Desiderio, Jason (Melanie) Brown, Emily (Devin) Colvin, Shawn Brown, Leana (Gene) Davis, Colin (Adrienne) Liebich, Alysa (Chase) Langlais, Kailie (James) Surges, Rachel and Leah O'Loughlin, and Nolen, Layton and Audra Stoffel, 26great-grandchildren, his brothers Bernard (Barb) Brown and David Brown, his brothers-in-law Mike Lavey and Pearson Hughes, his sisters-in-law Marilyn Brown, Janet (Ronald) Hanson, Anne Uelmen and Joan (Jack) Eggers, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Leo was preceded in death by his parents, wife Carol on January 16, 2013, sisters Monica Lavey and Joan Becker, sisters-in-law Dolly Brown and Sharon Hughes and brothers-in-law Donald Uelmen and Richard Becker.
Visitation will be held on Saturday Dec. 23rd at Shepherd of the Hills Catholic Church, W1563 County Rd. B, Eden from 9:00 AM until a Mass of Christian Burial at 1:00 PM. Rev. Mark Jones will officiate and burial will follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Dundee.

Sarah, I know how much you loved and admired your grandfather. You will miss him immensely, and so will your children. Memories of him will fill your hearts and, eventually, will begin to fill in the big hole left in your lives by his leaving. Prayers for God's healing and peace for you and all your family.

To all my wonderful cousins,
I was so sorry to hear that Uncle Leo passed. I know he is in a better place and is with your beloved mother, Aunt Carol. Although I am sure that is some comfort, the loss of a father is still heartbreaking. Even though I lost my dad many years ago, when I think of him, his picture is in my mind and that is something that never goes away.
Uncle Leo's laugh is forever in my mind and his love of life. I pray you find peace in time and remember all the wonderful times you had throughout your time beside and with him.
