Chris is preceded in death by his parents, O.C. Brown, and Theda Belle (Maynard) Brown. Grandparents Shirley & Oma (Cole) Maynard, and Lucas & Bessie (Crotts) Brown.
Chris was a friendly person to everyone he met and loved to make people laugh. In his spare time he loved to hunt, fish, camp, horseback ride and take trips on his motorcycle. Chris' greatest joy in life was his grandchildren, as well as being a loving husband to his wife, Jerri, for 13 wonderful years.
Chris began his career at Mallory, but his dream was always to be in law enforcement. Chris then fulfilled that dream as a deputy for the Putnam & White County Sherriff's office for 21 years.
