Brown null Obituary
Born on October 29, 1975, in Freeport, the son of Lewis and Glenalee (Kingery) Brown. Deacon grew up attending Eastland Schools and graduating with the Class of 1993. During his school years, he was an athlete, playing both baseball and football. His creativity shone through in his love for drawing, a passion he nurtured throughout his life.
A true fan of the Dukes of Hazzard, Deacon loved to drive (and crash cars.) He enjoyed the wilder side of life through riding crotch rockets to hanging with his HOH Brothers. Beyond his love for adventure, Deacon liked family gatherings filled with laughter and love. He found peace and excitement in hunting, fishing, and boating. He loved the outdoors. He was always willing to lend a hand, helping anyone in need without hesitation.
Deacon leaves behind a daughter, Kaige Brown of Stockton, Illinois (her mom Stacy Lieb); a son, Drake Durant of New Liberty, Iowa (his mom Valerie Perez); both parents, Lewis Brown of Hillsdale, Illinois and Glenalee Brown of Lanark, Illinois; his sister, Louanne (Sam) Preston of Lanark; his companion, Brandy Chisholm; his paternal grandmother, Jackie Brown of Lanark; nieces and nephews, Natasha (Geoff), Kirk (Cheyenne), Sammi (Will) and Dylan (Riley); and many great nieces and nephews; and his HOH brothers. He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Merle and Rachel Kingery, and his paternal grandfather, Duane "George" Brown.
A celebration of Deacon's life will be held from 4 to 7 PM on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at Law Jones Funeral Home in Mt. Carroll, Illinois, followed with a time of sharing. This gathering will be an opportunity for friends and family to come together, share memories, and honor the life of a man who brought friendship and adventure to those around him.
701 South East Street, Mount Carroll, IL 61053
