Stephen Brown Obituary
Stephen married his beloved wife, Kathleen Brown (Downey), on April 30, 1977. He proudly served in the Army National Guard for 30 years, retiring in 1998, and worked for General Motors for 43 years before retiring in 2008.
He enjoyed NASCAR, beach vacations-especially Panama City Beach-and spending time with his grandchildren. Stephen rarely missed their sporting events and took great pride in watching them compete, including Louisville baseball and Penn State gymnastics.
The family extends sincere thanks to the Community Hospital ICU staff and Dr. Saad Ullah and his team for their compassionate care.
Stephen will be remembered for his dedication to family, country, and a life well lived.
