Steven Brown Obituary
Steve was born in Brooklyn New York, the son of Samuel and Evelyn Brown and lived in South Florida for 50 years. Steve was a food broker starting a branch of B&A Foods as its salesman and problem solver. He won a Broker of the Year award and there after everyone at B&A used that as their part of their Internet address. He treated everyone he met with sincerity and kindness. He was soft spoken and humble. He preferred to let others enjoy the limelight they sought while he stayed in the background.
He was a star athlete in his youth and coached his son's baseball teams in Margate Florida from Tee Ball on until they went on to other sports. Somehow, he always coached the boys less able than others on the team, inspiring confidence and a sense of belonging to them.
In 1980 he met his wife Judy Abramson at the Ground Round. He was there to take his son to a party and she her children to a different one. Within several weeks Steve and Scott joined Judy, Peter and Gail, raising their children together for 40 years. Then they did it all over again raising their grandson Gavin.
Steve was predeceased by daughter Gail. Left to mourn his great loss are his wife Judy, sons Scott (Anie), Peter (Kim) and grandchildren Gavin, Ava, Katie, Jack, and his brother Barry (Alison) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Due to the Jewish holidays and Covid, a celebration of his life will be at a later date. If you wish to make a donation in his memory The American Cancer Society, The Humane Society or a charity of your choice would honor Steve.

What can I say that hasn't already been said, but know this. He was a kind gentle man and one who you loved to work with. Knowing Steve over 30 years I don't think I ever heard him say an unkind word about anyone and a man who loved his wife and family. We should leave such a legacy! My heart goes out to his family and friends. John Stevens

What’s been said about Steve says volumes to his persona. He may have won broker of the year but he really deserves person of decade! He was a true gentleman and it has been a pleasure to know him for 30 years both as a business colleague and to call him my friend.
May his memory be for a blessing

Wow! I was reading the paper and saw we lost Steve this week.
While I haven’t seen him in many years I remember him well.
From his days at Dorman Cheese to representing him when he worked for Stefano’s.
I also played basketball with him for many years.
Always a gentleman and family man.
Rest gentle Steve.
Condolences to his family. He was a wonderful man.

We spent many fun times on the baseball fields starting when our sons were in T-ball until their teen years.

wonderful man and father.
RIP Steve!
