Michael “Mike” David Brown, age 79 of Bay St. Louis, passed away Friday, October 3, 2025.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Rita Brown; and his brother, George Brown.

Mike is survived by his loving wife, Patricia Brown; his son, Christopher (Amy) Brown; his grandchildren, Holliman (Angel) Brown, Hayes Brown, Cooper Brown, Webb Brown and Nick Gardner; and many nieces and nephews.

Mike grew up in Hattiesburg and spent many summers at Hercules Fishing Club in Gautier. For the last thirty years he has lived between Bay St. Louis and the fishing club. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, a true outdoors man. He was loved by many and will be truly missed.

The family would like to thank St. Joseph Hospice, Gulfport, for the dedicated care. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Mike's name to St. Jude’s Children's Hospital.
