David Brown Obituary

David Robert Brown, a resident and native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2025, at the age of 85. Born in Virginia on November 2, 1940, David lived a life marked by dedication to his work and a deep love for music.

For many years, David served as a Boiler Maintenance Technician at Oceana, where he was known for his strong work ethic and unwavering commitment to his craft. Outside of his professional life, he found joy in singing, a passion that brought him comfort, fulfillment, and connection throughout his years.

David's spirituality was a quiet but steady part of who he was. Though not outspoken about his beliefs, he carried a deep sense of faith and personal reflection, drawing strength from his connection to God in his own humble way. His gentle outlook and spiritual grounding helped guide him through life's challenges and shaped the kindness he shared with those around him.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Annie Jean Brown (née Williams), and his parents. He leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories with his children, who survive him.

At this time, no formal services are scheduled. However, a service is being discussed, and details will be published online once a date has been set.

Funeral arrangements are in the care of Altmeyer Funeral Home and Cremations, Southside Chapel, located at 5033 Rouse Drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462.

David will be remembered fondly by all who knew him, and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
