Garylon Brown, the daughter of Erma Brown and acknowledged father, Tracy Hypolite, was born on November 28, 2006 in New Iberia, LA. Her life ended tragically on November 13, 2025, at the tender age of 18.

Garylon was a true All-Star. A MVP on and off the court. Beyond being an athlete, she was a light, she was laughter, she was joy wrapped in kindness. She was full of life, full of love, and full of the sweet little spirit that only she could give.

Her impact on everyone in her life was profound. The loss of her presence in the world runs very deep among her family, friends, and all who she encountered.

Those left to honor her memory are her parents; siblings; Tra’Naijah Hypolite, Kevriel Brown, and acknowledged siblings, Tracejah Hypolite, Fabian Hypolite, Tracy Hypolite Jr., Tre’Aunna Hypolite, Tra’Chalyn Hypolite, Ja’Tracylnn Hypolite, Traclynn Hypolite, and Tayilnn Hypolite; grandparents, Percy and Jane Brown, and acknowledged grandmother, Janice Marie Hypolite; godparents, Emily Hall, Lacresha Hines, and Timothy Matthews; godbrother, Karsyn Bowser; a host of loving uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
