Brown, Scott J. SFC Scott J. Brown of Company A of the 1st Battalion of the 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, NC, was killed in action on patrol in Iraq on May 18, 2007, at the age of 33. Loving husband of Delilah. Beloved father of Taylor "TJ", Vickie and Cassie. Beloved Godfather of Jenalea. Dear son of Lynne Brown-Ferguson and the late Vernon Brown. Stepson of Lory Ferguson. Fond and caring brother of Debbi (Don) Brown-Hood and Michael (Julia) Brown. Cherished uncle of Candace, Justin, Jessi, Jenalea and Maylin. Son-in-law of Donald Young and Kenneth Bunch. Brother-in-law of Johnny Young, Duane Bunch, Randy Bunch and Joey Bunch. Further survived by uncles, aunts, cousins, other relatives and many friends. Visitation at the Funeral Home on Monday, May 28, from 3 to 6 PM, and on Tuesday, from 9 to 11 AM, when there will be a Military Procession to V.A. Wood National Cemetery for Military Rites and Honors. Sergeant First Class Brown grew up in Brookfield, WI. He was a graduate of Brookfield Central High School. Scott enjoyed everything about the outdoors like camping, fishing, and four wheeling. His family and friends were very important to him, and he loved to spend time with them around a campfire, or watching his favorite football team, the Green Bay Packers. He really enjoyed driving his Jeep on the beaches of North Carolina. He loved the mountains of Colorado where his mom, sister and brother live. Scott joined the Army and became a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division in North Carolina; He attained the rank of E-7. Leading from the front, SFC Brown set the example for his troopers who followed with respect for a man who accepted nothing less than their best. Scott was always humble about his job and didn't like to be considered a hero. He said, "I am just doing my job for my country so my family can live in a land of freedom." Scott married Delilah before being deployed again to serve in Afghanistan and two more tours in Iraq. He always said "There is no where like the good ole' United States of America." Scott was very proud and committed to his job as a Platoon Sergeant in the 82nd Airborne.

Hey Bro,
3 years ago today our lives were devasted. Those feelings will never go away. Though I know you don't want us to sit around and cry, it's easier said then done. When I want to,I just hear your voice saying "cum on Sis, cheer up everythings fine." U would say it with your giggle and your smile. I remember that and it is easier to smile but yet so hard because I miss that too! My kids talk about you all the time and you are a great loss in thier lives. But we enjoy the few memmories that we were able to have with you! I know you are still here with us, I finally was able to read the last email that you sent me.....I heard your voice the whole time I was reading it. I sure miss you Bro! Save me a spot up there! You will always be here with me. I love you and miss you Bro.....

They say "Time heals all wounds". I don't know if that's true or not, but for me not a day goes by where I don't think of SFC Brown. The tears have long subsided, yet the pain is ever present. There's nothing I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time and tell SFC Brown how much I respected him. He always saw the best in his men no matter what the situation and that is truly a quality few men possess. It was a honor to serve in his platoon and I pray that God is watching over him in heaven right now. God Bless.

March 28, 2010

To Scott's family. He was an awsome guy, I had the pleasure to serve with him in Kosovo. I am just learning of his death. It is a sad day when someone as special as Scott is taken from us.

I remember being a young PVT, and even though SSG Brown wasn't my squad leader, he mentored me more then I ever thought. I am currently a Drill Sergeant in Fort Knox, KY., and every now and then I will sing a cadance to my Soldiers that I've only heard SSG Brown call out. It hurts knowing that you're gone, but I'm glad that I had the privilege to know you and have you as a mentor.

Scott,
Every year at deer camp, the story is told of you, sitting in a rotten old stand in sub 25 degree weather for 10 hours (back when we thought cotton was a good first layer) while i warmed up in the house.You were shaking so bad when you got to back from the woods, from the cold and the excitement.Clyde was so proud of you, that you sat so long and got a huge 9 pointer.I remember you being so proud that you got that deer with your dads rifle.I am proud to know you, as a hero and a friend. A picture of you and your buck hangs at camp and will, until we meet again. Cheers Brother

Hey Bro,

2 years have gone by and it seems like yesturday. Some days I think that you are just still deployed. I would give anything if you were just still deployed. Time hasn't gotten any easier. I sure miss your laugh, your humor,your 2a.m. phone calls, your brotherly love......I miss everything. I think about the old days and read old emails and letters that you would send. I laugh and I cry knowing we can't have those days anymore. You're remembered all the time in our home. The stories the kids and I share make us laugh and cry. Those fish stories......I love them. And though my jeep isn't as nice as yours, mine is still better ;o) I cherish all of our memories we had growing up. You, Mike and I sure had some great times. You both are my rock. As I get older I will always remember your voice teasing me about being the oldest and how I was going to turn gray before you. And I told you that you would have to push my wheelchair. Well Bro, I have alot of gray! But now you don't have to push my wheelchair. I'll have Mike do that. :o)
I know today is not the day to be sad. I am convinced that you are in heaven still doing your duty to protect all of us.....you are in a much better place. You are really missed Bro. All of us miss you. Our hearts will always be broken. But we cherish the memories. Some day I will get back to Vern's to get a giant cinnamon roll for you. In your last email that was your wish for when you got back from Iraq. It'll be done.
I hope I am still making you proud. When I get discouraged I think of you supporting me in my decisions in life and that helps me keep trying.
I really appreciate you and what you have done as a brother, an uncle and of course an American soldier!!

Love ya and miss ya Bro!
Love always,
Sis

SFC Scott Brown, two years ago today you saved my life.

Most days are hard when I think about the events of that day, but today rather then morn I want to celebrate your life. I want to thank god for blessing me to have served under you. Your leadership will never be matched and to this day it helps me get by. You were a father figure to me and all the young men of second platoon. I respect you so much.

He was a leader that I would follow all the way to the depths of hell because I know he would bring me back.

and he did.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Scott, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

November 14, 2007

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Scott J. Brown, Where to begin? I served with him at Ft. Hood and I am thankful for that. Scott truly was liked by all and was always there through the good times and bad. After he left for Bragg we only talked a few times and that is one thing I wish I could change. Sometimes you meet people along your journey in life that stay with you throughout. Certain things that you do or experience will trigger a memory of them. Although you don’t keep in touch in this busy life you know in your heart that if you needed them they would be there and you hoped they knew the same. Scott, you will truly be missed and I’ll keep you close to my heart always. Delilah, Taylor, Cassie, and Vicki, My heart goes out to you.

Lynne and family, my husband, Shawn, was Scott's roommate at Fort Hood. I just found out yesterday and there are no words to express the way that I feel. My heart goes out to you and the rest of your family. Scott was such a great man and definitely, always the life of the party. I never saw him without a smile on his face-always joking about something. Shawn loved him like a brother. Nothing could ever come between the two of them while they were at Fort Hood-not even me, so Scott became part of the family. We loved him so much.

My dearest Delilah, I am so sorry for your loss and for not keeping in touch. I know from the last e-mail I got from Scott that he loved you so much. Y'all were so lucky to have found each other. Be strong and know that Shawn and I are here for you if you need anything. We loved Scott so much and love you too. Please contact me.

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Dear Family -
Although I don't know you, and although my situation is very different than your own, I too am dealing with the loss of my husband at a very young age. My husband left behind me and our four year old son and two year old daughter when he died suddenly and unexpectedly of a rare heart condition in September. I am praying for you and your children. I would love to talk with you sometime. Feel free to reply to my email. God bless you and your family.

Marriam-Webster defines a hero as a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities and one that shows great courage. Scott and his fellow fallen are all of that, and more. Please feel comforted that I mourn for Scott and pray for the family and friend he left behind. You are my hero too, Scott.

I was honored to be at Scott's service today. Although I did not know Scott or his family, I am very proud of him, his family and ALL of our Armed Services men and women. I thank you for keeping our country safe. My dad died recently and I remember the priest said to me "It is not the end of his life, but a change" That was very comforting to me. I know my dad is always with me and Scott will always be with you too. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I know Scott Brown's son, I go to his school and I'm in his grade. I feel very sorry for Taylor and his mom. It's a very hard feeling to go through losing someone close to you. I hope Taylor is feeling okay because his dad was a great hero to our country.
