William E. Brown, 86, of Bethel Park, PA passed away peacefully on November 10, 2025. Born on October 23, 1939 in McKeesport, PA he is the son of the late Bernard E. and Cecilia Brown.

Beloved husband of 58 years to Marie Brown with whom he built a beautiful family; Loving father to Carolyn (Erik) Happ, Kimberly (Peter) McGuire, Susan (Erik) Reese, Christine (Pete) Murphy and William (Nicole) Brown; Pappy to Abby Happ, Alex Happ, Andrew Happ, Ryan McGuire, Victoria McGuire, Jason McGuire, Caden Reese, Caitlyn Reese, Christian Reese, Brendan Murphy, Julia Murphy, Ethan Brown and Emma Brown; He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

He is preceded in death by his siblings and is now reunited with loved ones who passed before him, surely sharing a slice of apple pie together.

A man of unwavering faith and a devoted Catholic, William lived his life guided by love, humility, and devotion to his family. Known as the family handyman, he could fix just about anything and was always ready to lend a hand when someone needed help. William had a sharp mind-a true math whiz with an incredible sense of direction who seemed to know every road by heart. He enjoyed spending time fishing, and most of all, being with his grandchildren, who were his greatest joy.

A Mass of Christian burial at St. Catherine Laboure Parish (St. Louise de Marillac Church), 320 McMurray Road, Upper St. Clair, PA 15241 will be held on on November 15, 2025 at 10:30 am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in William's honor to the Alzheimer's Association.

Marie and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Bill always had a smile on his face and a kind friendly word to all. He deeply loved his family and talked about each of his children everytime I saw him at Mass. I know he will be missed greatly, but he is now at home with the Lord. All my thoughts and prayers.
