Terry Lee Brown, 59, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on December 30, 2025, after a life defined by hard work, faith, and devotion to family. He was born on February 8, 1966, in Los Angeles, California.
Terry was a hardworking, kind, and resilient man whose life was marked by integrity, humor, and a protective spirit. A devoted father and true family man, he consistently put the needs of his loved ones before his own and lived with quiet strength and purpose.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7
He also found peace in the promise of Christ’s words:
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” — John 14:27
