Mr & Mrs Brown,
I just wanted to give my condolences to your family. I went to highschool with David, I was a senior when he was a sophomore. I don't have any funny stories to tell other than he was a nice guy and liked by all that met him. He will be missed by all that knew him.

No words will make the loss of this man easier. Not for his family nor all the people who were blessed to be touched by his joy of life. Happiness surrounded David Browne. It's no cliche when we say that he never met a stranger or he always made you feel appreciated. This picture was taken one year ago this month. This was the first time David & Cathy met my boyfriend. Look at his smile. You would think they were old high school buds .. Yes, That was David Browne.. He Never Met A Stranger.
To Cathy, Alyssa, Michael & Ms. Browne: Our hearts are hurting with you. Love Jay

My most sincerest condolences to Cathy, Alyssa, Michael and Mrs Browne on the passing of such a wonderful and beloved man. I have the pleasure of saying he was my friend and I thank God He placed me in his path. Although we didn't see each other much in the last few years, I often thought about him from time to time and would laugh about the fun times we had as we were growing up, him in the insurance industry and me in the legal field. We both started off about the same time in our respective fields and had a great respect for each other as well as a great friendship. I will miss him calling me Papa as well as his contagious laugh and smile. I know he's in heaven making people laugh up there. May he Rest In Peace and may God comfort you all at this difficult time. My warmest regards.

This is Joe Inglett. Cathy, we are so sorry for your loss. Dave was the best father and husband. He was so proud of his children and his wife. We would have long talks about Alyssa's basketball and Michael's sports and his football. I would always tell him they got their athletic ability from Mom. He would laugh and say, yeah, you are right. You, the children and all your family are in our prayers. God Bless you all.

Cathy, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. David was such a wonderful person who always made me smile. He was always there with a big smile and a warm teddy bear hug. I remember before he started working for State Farm, he would call the office all the time leaving messages for David Ortiz. He would always identify himself as Dr, Browne or Attorney Browne. Took me awhile to figure out it was the same person.

My condolences to Sylvia and David's wife and children, as well as other family members and friends. I have good memories of David from my years as art teacher at Memorial Elementary School in Del Rio. He was fun and funny. He kept things lively in class. One thing that always impressed me about David was how he always watched out for and took care of his cousin Bobbie Medina. They always seemed to be together. David stands out in my memory even after so many years bcause he always made me smile and chuckle? May he be rejoicing in Heaven with God's angels!

We are so very sorry for your loss. David truly was one of the good ones. He loved big and made everyone feel important. We loved Brandeis more because of people like him always welcoming everyone at Booster Club Events and all things Bronco Sports. He was a fan, and his passion for his kids and their school was contagious. We are praying for you all. He will be greatly missed.

Tracey Fontenot

From the very start when we moved a few doors over in the neighborhood, David was the first contagious smile, the first friendly welcome, introducing Kathy and the kids to our family. Since that day, we enjoyed neighborhood chats, sports-talk galore, rooting for one another's kids, and just a genuine friendship. David ALWAYS brightened the day of everyone around him, showed love to all, laughed often, and his love for Kathy and his kids was abundantly evident. I am sad the world here on earth is without such a wonderful person as David was, and I have no doubt his halo is shining bright and bobbing around as he meets and greets and laughs and shines in heaven, as he did here on earth. Hugs to all of you. Tracey Fontenot and The Fontenot Family
