Kenneth Brown Obituary
Brown, Kenneth James
Kenneth passed away on April 2nd, 2023
He was born in Ypsilanti, MI. on March 31st, 1954 to Bessie Williams and Frederick Hughs Brown but raised by Carter Williams. Ken was legally blind from birth and completely blind later in life which did not stop him from a 35-year career at the IRS. He was preceded in death by both his parents Bessie and Carter Williams, his brother Frederick Brown, and his nieces Destiny and Caretha. He is survived by his sister Grace Deniece Watkins, his brothers Larry Brown, Carter Williams III (wife Monica), and John Williams, and nieces Danielle, Kelly, Kentrice, Kapree, Ashlei, and Vaughnda, nephews Larry Jr., Deonte, and Jeremiah, and his grandniece, Bessie. A memorial will be held at a future date.

Spent many a night jamming with Ken when I lived in St. Louis -he on guitar, piano, vocals- he could do it all. I miss him greatly, he was a great friend and stand-up guy- always in your corner when you needed him. I was afraid something happened when I couldn't reach him by phone. RIP brother- the world was a better place with you in it. I'll pour a glass of Myer's in memory...Rob.

Ken was also a B-B-Q artist. That's what I remember the most
about him. He was an amazing and gentle man.

My friend you will be greatly missed. Now without you, I´m afraid the world will have to settle its own problems. You were taking too soon and I wish I could´ve said goodbye.
