Irvin Brown Obituary
Irvin Joseph Brown
November 5, 1932 - January 16, 2022
Irvin Joseph Brown, 89, Lincoln passed away January 16, 2022. Born November 5, 1932, in Providence, RI to Edwin and Kathleen (O'Hara) Brown. Irvin served in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years from 1951-1971. He was stationed overseas for 10½ years in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines.
After Irvin was honorable discharged from the service he worked for the U.S. Postal service for 15 years, retiring in 1987. He was a member of the American Legion Post #3. He married Edna Louise Gould on February 14, 1963, in Lincoln, NE and she preceded him in death on June 15, 1985. He was also preceded in the death by his parents and one brother.
As there are no close survivors, we are appealing to any and all veterans, veterans' clubs and organizations and our community to attend Irvin's service to honor an individual who so selflessly served our country.
Funeral Service: 1 p.m. Monday (1-24-22) Roper and Sons South Lincoln Chapel, 3950 Hohensee Drive. Masks are required. Livestream available ten minutes prior to the service at roperandsons.com/livestream. Full Military Honors and Burial will be in Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery to follow.

We served in the Air Force together on the Philippines. He was a great mentor and he and his wife Edna were so kind to me for those years. Thank you

Sincere sympathy. He was an across the street neighbor and friend for decades of our parents. He and Edna were so good to our entire family. He is now walking and talking with Edna among all the company of heaven. RIP Brownie!
