Nick Brown, 46, of Burlington died Friday, Aug. 22, 2025, at his home.
Born Sept. 1, 1978, in Burlington, he was the son of Tim Edward and Gayle Allene Oldham Brown.
Following his graduation from high school, Nick earned his Associates Degree from SCC. Nick worked as a machinist for a variety of different companies during his career. He thoroughly enjoyed his profession and was very passionate about it.
Nick enjoyed target shooting, riding 4-wheelers and tinkering on his vehicles. He always seemed to be working on something. Nick's greatest joy and proudest accomplishment in life were his three children, who were the center of his world. He cherished every moment with them-whether it was sharing laughter, offering guidance, or simply hanging out. He loved them with a depth that could be felt in everything he did.
Survivors include two daughters, Morgan Brown of Taylor Ridge, Illinois, and Gracy Brown of Marion; son, Michael Brown of Burlington; siblings, Lisa (Rob) Perrenoud of Mount Pleasant, twin brother, Mike (Carrie) Brown of Danville, Tim (Shawna) Brown of Burlington, Terry (Lisa) Saldeen, Bill (Sally) Saldeen, and Bob Saldeen, and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, parents and brother, Trent Brown.

My son Rob was good friends with Nick and Mike, I think they helped each other in growing up and maybe finding trouble in school. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

My deepest sympathy to all of Nick's family, especially his kids. I worked with Nick years ago and he was the nicest person I have ever met. He talked about his kids all the time. He loved you all very much.
