James C. Brown

James C. Brown, age 83, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, passed away on Saturday, November 22, 2025, with his loving family by his side after a courageous battle with Alzheimer's Disease. He was a determined and accomplished man, known for his fighting spirit and unwavering patience throughout his life.

Born in Menominee, Michigan on January 26, 1942, he was the son of the late Ralph Brown and Beatrice Johnson. A proud patriot, he served his country honorably as a veteran of the United States Air Force. After his military service, Jim leveraged his skills and entrepreneurial spirit to establish his own home improvement company, Siding Unlimited.

Jim found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life. An avid bowler, he was particularly proud of achieving a perfect 300 game. His passion for baseball extended beyond the stands as he proudly coached his children's teams. He will be remembered most for his infectious laughter and his ability to lighten any room with his quick wit and warm sense of humor. His dedication to his family was matched only by his love for a good story and a competitive game. He truly was the guy you wanted on your side and was deeply loved and respected by all who knew him.

Jim is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Rosemary Brown; his children, Jamie (Patrick) Rook, Aaron Brown and Eric (Jennifer) Brown; his grandchildren, Travis (Lindsey) LaCombe, Jacob (Cassie) Schlender, Courtney (Emir) Tavsan, Tyler (Megan) LaCombe, Julia (Cam) Rook, Jackson (Cathryn) Brown, Carina Rook, Nadia Brown, Ethan Brown, and Evan Brown; his great-grandchildren, Sonny Daurio, Ari Tavsan, and Zana Tavsan; his siblings, Nancy Weber, Sally Herson, John (Diane) Brown, Tom (Sue) Brown; in-laws Patti Brown, Sharon Drews, Joanne Field, Sally Marks, Diane (John) Brown, and Gail (Jeff) Denkins. He also leaves behind many cherished nieces, nephews and friends.
