Kenneth BROWN Obituary
August 20, 1941 – March 15, 2015
A kind, modest and caring man has left this world and will be deeply missed.
He was a loving, devoted and inspiring husband, father and grandfather. Ken leaves to celebrate his life his adoring wife, Doreen; children: Geoffrey (Jylene), and Nicole Pearse (Jodi); grandchildren: Nolan, Jordynn and Sophia as well as his friends and extended family including those in his practice of law.
Ken was a man of few words but one to be counted on. He was content in the outdoors and enjoyed the mountains and his remote cabin where he spent 40 years walking, hiking, reading and doing all things involving
family and friends.
In keeping with his wishes a memorial service will not be held.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, 11560 University Avenue, Edmonton, AB. T6G-1Z2

Doreen, I just heard about your loss. I am sorry to hear that Ken is gone. While I was a young associate at the old shop (Cormie Kennedy), I could always look to Ken to give me solid and balanced advice not only on legal matters but on life in general. What a great attitude he had. One of the good guys is gone. What an asset he will be in heaven. Mark Olivieri

Whenever I saw Ken, he would immediately regale me with humourous stories of his grandchildren and children, and wonderful travels with his wife. He would grab family pictures off his desk and proudly show the latest ones... then he'd listen very closely and parse out sage advice. He was a kind and generous man, and I will miss his sharp wit and laughter. My sincere condolences to all.

Doreen and family: Ken was a gentle man, kind and caring and lots of fun in his quiet way. I will miss him at work, playing crib at lunch and of course all of our office parties. Richard and I express our deepest condolences to you.

Doreen and family, I was so sorry to hear of Ken's illness and subsequent passing. He was my principal at Cormie Kennedy in 1984/85. He was a good lawyer and a fine human being. I always enjoyed hearing him talk about your family times at the cabin in Robb. My sincere condolences to you all.

I met Ken in grade eight at McDougall School and journeyed on with him to Victoria Composite and the U of A. Ken was quiet, friendly, and a good listener. I will miss him at our school reunions.

Aloha Doreen: Being we rarely cross paths, we were indeed shocked to read of Ken's death, a friend back to university years and a best man at our wedding 48 years ago. Our hearts go out to you and your children at this time.

My sincere condolences to Ken's family. Ken was a valued member of a circle of school friends, many of whom started grade one together at McDougall School and then graduated from Victoria Composite.

I was lucky enough to see Ken in the fall of this past year. I was a young adult the last time I saw him but he was as I always remember him; kind, welcoming and so obviously adoring of his wife. Doreen I wish you, Nicole, and Geoff all the love and support during this time. Love Carol and Family xoxo
