Douglas Brown

Douglas Neil Brown, a cherished son, brother, and friend, passed away on December 1, 2024, at the age of 59. Born on April 29, 1965, in Warner Robins, Georgia, Doug was a man of great warmth and kindness, known for his ability to connect with everyone he met.

Doug pursued his passion for engineering at Georgia Tech, where he earned both a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering and a Master's Degree in Geotechnical Engineering. His professional journey led him to several significant roles, including Account Manager at Tensar International Corporation and most recently, Technical Sales Manager at AeroAggregates of North America, LLC. His dedication and expertise in his field were widely recognized and respected.

A devoted family man, Doug is survived by his loving mother, Mamie Brown and his sister, Susan (John) Stachura, as well as many extended family members, colleagues and close friends. He was a proud uncle to his nieces, Sarah, Jenna, and Zoe Stachura, who brought immense joy to his life. Doug was preceded in death by his father, Alvin Brown, whom he cared for tenderly through his death from cancer.

Doug's life was enriched by his love for travel and sports. He participated in the Peachtree Road Race every year without fail and was a dedicated runner. Many of his close and lifelong friendships were formed playing basketball at Wheeler High School. He was an avid supporter of all of the Atlanta sports teams, and most of all his beloved Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. His adventures took him to various countries and sporting events, where he accumulated countless frequent flyer miles and cherished memories.

Doug was a strong Christian, and attended churches of many different denominations, both in his hometown of Atlanta and across the world in his travels. He believed in the power of prayer, and despite being an avid restaurant diner who hated to cook, he never hesitated to bow his head in prayer before a meal, whether he was eating at Chick Fil A or an upscale restaurant. After a moment of surprise, he was often joined in saying grace by his fellow diners, even by those who were not accustomed to the practice.

Known for his friendly nature, Doug never met a stranger. Whether it was his regular server at Waffle House or an important client, he made everyone feel valued and appreciated. His legacy of kindness and connection will be fondly remembered by his family, many close friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
