Steven Brown Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Valley Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Roanoke on Feb. 19, 2026.
It is with deep love and heavy hearts that we share that Steven Kilbourne Brown II passed away on February 18, 2026, in Roanoke, Virginia. He was 49 years old.

Steven spent the past several years living in Martinsville, Virginia. If you knew him, you knew he never met a stranger. His sister lovingly called him "The Mayor" because he had friends everywhere - across cities, across states, across the country. He had a gift for bringing people together and making everyone feel like they belonged.

Steven loved playing video games with his friends and his brother. Those games were never just games - they were connections, laughter, late-night conversations, and friendship. He loved eating out, sharing stories, and simply being around people. Being together meant everything to him.

Even in difficult seasons, Steven's heart for others never changed. He assembled people - friends, family, communities - and turned them into something that felt united and joyful in his presence.

For now, we ask that you remember Steven with a smile, tell a story about him, and reach out to someone he connected you with. That would make him proud.

He was loved deeply. He will be missed beyond words.
