Henry Brown Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Chapel Memorial Funeral Home - Waterbury on Dec. 9, 2025.
Mr. Henry "Cobra" Brown, age 79, of Proctor Street, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at St. Mary's Hospital. He was the beloved husband of the late Gwendolyn Brown.

Born on April 17, 1946, in Kansas, Missouri, Henry was the son of the late James Brown and Lula (Chapman) Brown. A man of quiet strength and enduring resilience, Henry lived a life marked by love, humility, and dedication. He worked for many years for the City of Waterbury, where he was known for his hard work, steady presence, and the deep respect he held for his community.

Affectionately known as "Cobra," Henry will be remembered for his gentle spirit, warm heart, and the unwavering love he carried for his family. Though he has departed from this earthly home, his legacy continues to shine brightly through the lives of all who knew and loved him.

He leaves to cherish his memory two sons, Brian and Henry Jr.; three daughters, Michelle, Cherna, and Camia; as well as a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family members who will miss him deeply.

Henry's life was one of quietness, resilience, and steadfast love. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

Hello Michelle, Please recall your father & I grew up together on the hill, that being, Berkeley Heights/Harris Circle. Also, I can recall several conversations with you about you and your dad. Nonetheless, I remember one thing in particular - Your mother loved her some Henry Brown, regardless of the outcome. Having said that, please know that you are loved. Keep doing YOU. Jimmy & I are sorry for your loss.
