Clarke Brown Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Clarke William Brown, who departed this life on May 20, 2025, at the age of 72.

Born on June 22, 1952, Clarke was a devoted father, a beloved brother, a proud grandfather, and a true friend. His life was a testament to resilience, loyalty, and the simple joys of family and friendship.

Clarke is survived by his children: CJ Brown, Patrick Slater Brown, and Michelle Anne Brown; his daughter-in-law, Laura Brown; and his cherished grandchildren: Bianca, Angela, Vivian, and William Brown. He also leaves behind his sisters, Linda and Susan.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Nora Coe; his father, Donald Brown; his stepfather, Lee Coe; and his dear sisters, Karen and Donna.

Clarke will be remembered always and missed deeply.

Details about memorial services will be shared with family and friends at a later time.

I am heartbroken at the loss of my good friend, Clarke. We've know each other since grade school, lost touch for a while after high school, but reconnected about 25 years ago. I'm glad to have had him in my life and I will truly miss him. My sincere condolences to his family. Rest in peace, my friend.
