It's been eight years since Ken's passing, and many decades since we played music together in various bands and "hung out" in the 60's and 70's. Yet, when I have the occasion to play music, I still reflect on those memorable days so long ago. He is still missed. I'm attaching an old photo as a remembrance of our friendship and camaraderie, and to pass on to his brother Kermit. RIP, Ken.

I started at Bose about a year ago. Not knowing too many people here, one person always gave me a smile, Mr. Ken Brown. He'd say, "How you doin' kiddo?" I had the opportunity to sit with him and talk about Black History, Music, and Florida. What an amazing man! My most sincere condolences. God Bless you all. Danelle Fournier

I am deeply sad at Kens passing. I only wish I had know were he was. Kermit you might remember me, Dave ( Ryan ) Wing I lived up the street and formed Misty Daze with Ken and Johnny, I played the Bass, Ann joined later. We all played together for a time. None of our class mates I talked to knew where Ken was. I take with me a lot of fond memories of our times spent together in and out of school. I have and always will miss him.

Ken was an inspiration to me for how he lived his life through his passions (like music), how he treated people with respect, and how he was always willing to smile and laugh. The Bud Jam won't be the same without him. We will miss you Ken!

To Ken 's family and fronds, Kens light will guide you! He was in my band "Box of Cigars" for several years in the Nineties in which we wrote and played for hours on end, rehearsed gigged and recorded a CD. His laughter is heard at the beggining of a track called "Bright Lives". That says it all.
He was generous and kind as you know. His nick name from us was appropriate. "Preacher" God surely has back now.
RIP Ken....thanks!
