A few years late but condolences from the Warren family. Dr. Brown was my moms doctor prior to being mines. I remember his clinic all the way back to when I was 5 in 2005. Now I´m a 24yr old in the Air Force. Wish there were still as many caring doctors as him. Sending love and respects to the entire Brown family. Thank you all and blessings.

Dr. Brown is the best Doctor I have ever had. For 25 years I have been seeing him. Never needed an appointment. Dr. Brown was the best doctor I have ever had. Doctor Brown you are gonna be missed by many. I cried all day when I found this out. I had fun laughing with you in the office. I'm gonna miss you. You helped fix me and for that I am forever grateful! You said you had a plan for us and I trust you...thank you for your service!
Sincerely

To the entire Brown Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Dr. B´s passing. I happened to just find out today. I called the office and when I heard the message I was shocked! He was my Dr from the time I was 5 maybe 6. He was also both my mom and dad´s Dr as well and when I got married last year he became my husbands Dr too! What an AMAZING man and Dr he was. He will be definitely missed by many. I´m still in disbelief, so words aren´t coming to me. Rest Easy Dr B. Always and Forever the BEST DR there was!

My heart is broken. Living in Nevada, I haven't seen Dr Brown since before Covid. I was just about to send him a card celebrating the fact that he had been taking such good care of me for 50 years this November when I saw his obituary. He was a great man. Living his dream of being the best doctor he could be and always listening and caring. He was as much a reliable friend as a doctor. My condolences to Sandy and his family.

I am so sorry to hear that Dr. Brown has passed. He was my son's Trever & Tyler's doctor from the second they were born (he was in the delivery room) and he was my doctor since 1980.
He was my doctor but also my friend and he will be dearly missed.
My sympathy, condolences and prayers to his Loved Ones.

We were so sad to hear of Dr. Browns passing. Our family have been patients of his for as long as I can remember. He even pierced my ears. He was such a kind and caring man and spent time getting to know what you needed, you don't see that much anymore. God bless you will be missed.

Dr. Brown and his family was a part of our lives for over 25 years, both as our physician and personal friend. He was a devoted father, husband, grandpa, and overall a tremendous man, mentor and good friend , and example for all. He finished the race.
Thank you Lord for sharing him with all of us.

I was so worried for this day knowing how much I had come to depend on Dr Brown. He was my doctor from the time he opened his practice in 1971 until last Friday. He delivered my only baby. My deepest sympathies to his family, friends, associates and to all his patients.
