John Brown Obituary
John was born July 27, 1956 in Chicago, IL, the son of John Robert and Chloie (DeSelm) Brown. He was raised in Illinois and lived most of his life in Lake County, IL graduating from Waukegan High School in 1974, then enlisting in the Marines from 1974 -1978.
Survivors include two children: a son John Matthew (Brittany) Brown of Murrieta, California and a daughter, Amy Elizabeth Brown (Mike Weber) of Ogden, Utah; and two sisters Cheryl (Robert) Paul of Crossville, Tennessee and Phyllis Brown (Ray Rowan) of Salina, Kansas. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews, along with several great-nieces and great-nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his ex-wife Laurie Moneyhon, the mother of his children.
John retired from Deublin Company, Waukegan, IL, in 2016 after 37 years of employment. After retiring he relocated to Texarkana, Arkansas then Texarkana, Texas to enjoy his retirement by bowling, playing golf, fishing and riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle.

John leaves behind many friends and loved ones in Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas.

You will truly be missed, bro. There isn't a golfing day that goes by where you are not referenced several times. You made a substantial impact in such a short time (4 years with the group and 2 years for myself) hitting the Links.
May God bless and rest your soul.

Jack,
I miss you every day. The Longest Yard Sale will never be the same without you. All of those "conversation pieces" that you gave us that I thought were ridiculous, I will treasure forever. Rest In Peace Brother. You´ll be in my heart forever. Love you!
