My sincere sympathy to the Brown Family. Tommy aka Farmer, was always smiling and joking, back when he was a friend of my younger brother Jaime. When we crossed paths, only a few years ago, he had not changed, and was the same good soul he was when he was a kid, back in grammar and high school. He was just a really good person, which we are always in need of. I am certain he brought a lot of joy and good will, to probably everyone he crossed paths with! You will most certainly be missed Farmer, but not only your family, but everyone you have ever come to know during your lifetime! Rest in Peace Bro! Hopefully, you and Jaime are playing some hoops in Heaven!
