Willie Brown, Jr.

Willie Brown, Jr. was born October, 24, 1936 and transitioned quietly from this life on April 27, 2023 at the age of 86.  Mr. Brown was the only surviving sibling and leaves behind his adult children, an aunt, nephews, and nieces.  He is the last of his generation and now joins our ancestors.  

Mr. Brown enjoyed people, loved the blues and played blues guitar back in the day.  He had an amazing wit and sense of humor; his memory was sharper than most young people, never forgetting a detail from past conversations or visits.  We will remember these things as well as his love of a good meal!  

Willie Brown, Jr. you will never be forgotten, we love and miss you.

                       We Let you Go

Quietly into the darkness and warmth of the earth

We lay you down

Into the sadness and smiles of our memories

We lay you down

Into the cycle of living and dying and rising again

We lay you down

May you rest in peace, in fulfilment, in loving

May you run straight home in God’s embrace

Into the freedom of wind and sunshine

We let you go

Into the dance of the stars and the planets

We let you go

Into the wind’s breath and the hands of the star maker

We let you go

We love you, we miss you, we want you to be happy

Go safely, go dancing, go running home
