He was born in Wauseon on May 19, 1940 to Ernest A. Brown and Alma (Thomas) Brown. After graduating from Delta High School, he would marry the love of his life and best friend, Beverly Moose on September 15, 1962.
Together they were blessed with two children, Clark and Kim; and would share 50 wonderful years together until Beverly’s passing on October 24, 2012.

Over the years, he and his wife enjoyed the peace and tranquility of visiting Bird Lake and sharing quality time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Keeping family as the center of his time, he always cheered on his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in their various endeavors and sporting events.
