Nigel BROWN Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 7, 2016.
BROWN Nigel John 15.4.1957 - 5.6.2016 Passed away peacefully at the North West Private Hospital. Dearly loved husband of Tracey. Adored father of Christian and Jodie, and Tammy and Heath. Amazing pop of Cooper, Libby and Coco. Loving son of Anne and Jack (dec.). Loved brother of Karen and John Bester, and Susan and Barry Cumming. Dearly loved and sadly missed by all his extended family and friends. Breathing easy and swimming with the tide Who would have thought a teenage romance that started 41 years ago would turn into a life long love affair built on trust, mutual respect and admiration for each other. Our amazing life together produced our 2 beautiful children, and grandchildren to complete our family. When our journey together began we thought we would be together forever, but that wasn't meant to be, so we packed in an enormous amount of love and adventures together with our family and friends in our 39 years of marriage. I have loved you since the day we met and will love you forever.Your adoring wife, Tracey. Dear Dad, You have been the greatest dad and pop anyone could have ever asked for. Your fight and determination has been truly inspirational to your family and many others. You are loved deeply and going to be sorely missed by us all. But we take comfort in the fact you can now breathe easy, are pain free and will keep watch over us all. We love you and will never be far from our thoughts, Christian, Jodie, Cooper and Libby xxx Dad/Pop, You were our hero, our first love, and our king. You were always there for us no matter what, offering your guidance, wisdom and support. Although you're no longer here in person, you're forever and always here with us in spirit and memory. We all have another special angel looking over us now.We love and miss you dad/pop, Tammy, Heath and Coco.

Sincere condolences. I moved to Burnie mid-year in 1970 and I was lucky to have Nigel in my class at Burnie High School. Nigel was a nice kid. He (and Karen) made it a lot easier for me to be the new kid at school. I will always remember the most spectacular backflip soccer goal that he scored during a lunch break - with about 100 kids in the game. Fond memories of a lovely young man.
