Charles W. Brown, 85, of Marysville, died Friday, June 7, 2019, at Prestige Gardens with his family by his side.
He was an avid fisherman, but most important of all, was his time spent with his family. He just beamed any time they were all together.
A veteran of the U.S. Army, he served during the Korean War. He worked at Whirlpool and Sears, both in Marion and also worked as an Allstate Agent for many years. Formerly attending the Byhalia Friends Church and most recently the Fulton Creek Church, he also chaired the executive committee of the Evangelical Friends Church, Eastern Region.
Born Nov. 10, 1933, in Mt. Victory, he was the son of the late Percy Charles and Celesta (Penny) Brown. On June 12, 1955, he married his wife of nearly 60 years, Shirley J. (Montgomery) Brown, and she preceded him in death on June 15, 2014. In addition to his wife and parents, he was also preceded in death by a grandson, Matt Brown, a sister, Erdine Grose and his brothers, Wilbur, Gordon, Nolan and Guy Brown.
He is survived by a daughter, Bev (Duane) Dickson of Marysville, a son, Mike (Peggy) Brown of Lakeview, Grandchildren, Chelsea (Ryan) Budrow, Jason (Jessica) Dickson, Ashley (Harley) Hicks and Caleb Hicks, great-grandchildren, Trent, Savannah and Chloe Dickson and Amelia, Charlie, Sperry and Juniper Hicks, a sister, Sally Sayre, and his brothers, Jim, Russ, Bernie and Ervin Brown, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
