Sammy Lee Brown

Sammy L. Brown, age 79, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Sunday, February 1, 2026. He was born on June 17, 1946, and raised in Dunlap, Tennessee. Sammy proudly served his country in the United States Navy before building a long and dedicated career at RockTenn, where he retired after 43 years of service.

Sammy made his home in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, and was of the Baptist faith. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, and in later years found comfort and contentment relaxing in his favorite recliner. He was known for his steady presence, strong work ethic, and quiet way of showing love for his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Virgie Brown; his daughter, LaShawn Brown; his brothers, Raymond, Earl, and Buford Brown; his sisters, May West and Mary Bowman; his grandsons, Michael L. Brown and Timothy Wallace; and his dear friend, Donald "Duck" Sheets.

He is survived by his son, Mitchell (Sandra) Brown; his brother, Haskell Brown; and his grandchildren, Nathan Wallace, Destiny Clark, Lily Clark and Andrew (Tiffani) Miller; along with a multitude of extended family members and friends who will cherish his memory.

Sammy will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
