Nick Brown Obituary

Nick Brown, 46, of Burlington, died Friday, August 22, 2025, at his home. Born September 1, 1978, in Burlington, he was the son of Tim Edward and Gayle Allene Oldham Brown. Following his graduation from high school, Nick earned his Associates Degree from SCC. Nick worked as a machinist for a variety of different companies during his career. He thoroughly enjoyed his profession and was very passionate about it. Nick enjoyed target shooting, riding 4-wheelers and tinkering on his vehicles. He always seemed to be working on something. Nick's greatest joy and proudest accomplishment in life were his three children, who were the center of his world. He cherished every moment with them-whether it was sharing laughter, offering guidance, or simply hanging out. He loved them with a depth that could be felt in everything he did. Survivors include two daughters, Morgan Brown of Taylor Ridge, IL and Gracy Brown of Marion, IA; son, Michael Brown of Burlington, siblings, Lisa (Rob) Perrenoud of Mount Pleasant, twin brother, Mike (Carrie) Brown of Danville, Tim (Shawna) Brown of Burlington, Terry (Lisa) Saldeen, Bill (Sally) Saldeen, Bob Saldeen and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, parents and brother, Trent Brown. Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Prugh Crematory. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
