Jerome Tom Brown Jr. "Tom", lifelong resident of Sheridan, WY, passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at St. Vincent's Regional Hospital in Billings, MT at the age of 81.

Tom was born on March 4,1944 in Billings, MT to parents Jerome and Theresa (Arts) Brown. He was raised in the Sheridan area and graduated from Sheridan High School. After school he enlisted in the United States Navy where he served aboard the USS Caliente during the Vietnam War. After being honorably discharged he returned home where he met the love of his life, Virginia Heezen. They married June 22, 1968, at Holy Name Catholic Church in Sheridan. Together they raised their three children. In his professional life, Tom was a refrigeration repairman, where he owned and operated Brown Refrigeration for 28 years. He then went to work for Sheridan College in the maintenance department. After retiring, he enjoyed spending quality time with his children and grandchildren.

Tom enjoyed being outdoors. He raised his children camping, hiking, fishing, riding motorcycles, and riding snow machines. When he was at home you would often find him in his garage working on vehicles or tinkering with one project or another. Tom was an avid reader; he especially enjoyed books about Wyoming history and fictional westerns.

Many will remember Tom for his quick wit and light-heartedness. Although it is his kindness and willingness to drop everything to help someone in need that will keep him in the hearts of those who knew him.

Tom was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia, and his parents. He is survived by his children Scott (Kedron) Brown of Richmond TX, Dawn (Joseph) Bennett of Sheridan, and Michael (Jennifer) Brown of Sheridan, a brother, Robert (Barbara) Brown of Broomfield CO, four grandchildren, Stephanie, Joseph, Xavier, and Piper and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

A Rosary is at 9:30 A.M., with Memorial Mass at 10:00 A.M., on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at Holy Name Catholic Church, and the interment with Military Honors will be in the Sheridan Municipal Cemetery. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall.
