Dwain Ranoldo Brown

Dwain peacefully transitioned into God's loving arms on Wednesday January 29, 2025. He was born July 25, 1953 to the union of the Late Yvonne Lightfoot Brown and Tommie Lee Brown in New Orleans, Louisiana, their first born of 4. Dwain was baptized at an early age at Historic Second Baptist Church by Rev. Thomas Nelson Washington. He was very active in church leadership groups, Sunday school, vacation bible school and even sang in choirs all over the city of New Orleans with the late Raymond Myles.
Dwain was educated in the Orleans Parish Public School System. He attended Francis T. Nicholls, Class of 1971. He also attended SUNO, where he acquired his Bachelors Degree. He worked for Amoco oil for 25yrs as a seismic technologist and then as security officer for 5yrs at Whitney Bank, where he retired. Dwain was mild mannered and pleasant spirited, loved to dance, spending time with his son and grandchildren, playing cards and dominoes, hanging out with family and friends, seeing everyone gathered together. Dwain had a heart for people and also a love for his home team, The New Orleans Saints, even though many times they could nearly give him a heart attack.
