Robert Brown Obituary
June 4, 1943 - March 12, 2023
Robert James Brown, 79, of Morganton, N.C. passed away on Sunday, March 12, 2023. He was born on June 4, 1943 in Chicago, Ill. to the late Mildred and Royal Nelson Brown. Bob, or "Brown Mountain Man," as he was affectionately known, was a man of many talents. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a Master's degree in Fishery/Biology. Bob was in the Peace Corps in Central America before settling in Morganton. He began his thirty-seven year career as a fisheries biologist with the N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission. He was also an active member of Trout Unlimited. Bob's love of wildlife often found him traveling to hunt elk, to fish and enjoy nature. He also loved to attend Antique Car Shows and tinkering on his 1936 Ford Pickup truck.
Bob is survived by his sons, Scott Brown (Susan) and Evan Brown (Emily); three beautiful grandsons, Logan and Legrand Brown and Bynum Norris; special friend, Dr. Don Hemstreet.
A memorial service will held 2 p.m. Saturday, March 25, 2023 at St. Mary's / St. Stephen 's Episcopal Church with the Revs. Logan Lovelace and Scott Oxford officiating. The family will receive friends in the Parish Hall following the service.

One of our own Trout Unlimited friends has passed, Bob served as District 8 Fishery Biologist. He was with us as advisor in all those tough fights we had to protect and better manage trout fisheries. I remember his first stop when he came to Morganton was to speak at the Table Rock Trout Unlimited Chapter meeting. He wore a well used vest and fishing hat to show this kid was not only a fishery biologist but a fellow angler. RIP my friend and tight lines forever...
