David T. Brown, of Quincy, died peacefully on Monday, February 21, 2022, at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. He was 83.

Born in Norwell on October 27, 1938, he was the son of the late Thomas and Marion (Hardwick) Brown. David was raised in Los Angeles, California, attended local schools, and graduated from high school in 1956.

After high school, David moved back to Massachusetts to help care for his grandmother and began working for Stop & Shop Supermarket as a butcher in the deli. He enjoyed his work and the relationships he built throughout the years. David retired in 2017 after many years of service to the community.

David was a quiet and reserved person. In his spare time, David enjoyed birding, spending time in nature, and being with his family. David will be missed by all the lives he touched.

David was the beloved husband of Donna J. (Larson) Brown of Quincy. The two married on May 10, 1975, and together they shared 47 loving years of marriage. He was the devoted father of Tim M. Brown of Quincy and William T. Brown of Taiwan.

David's funeral services will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent in David's name to SPCA International, PO Box 2008, Milford, NH 03055.

I started corresponding with David via email in September 2021, when he replied to one of my posts on a birding board. He was such a nice guy; we talked about life, adventures we had, the passage of time, health, nature, and always about birds. I am so sad we never got to go birdwatching together, but hope we get to on the other side some day. To David's family: I am so sorry for your loss, but know that he was such a great guy that even by email, for even a few months, he could make a positive long-lasting impact in the life of others. I'll print out and send our correspondence along to you, and if you ever want to go birdwatching, just send me a message at the email address in the messages.
