James S. "Jim" Brown

Mueller's Tri-Cities Funeral Home

The true measure of a man is not what he acquires in his lifetime, but what he leaves behind.

James 'Jim' S. Brown, loving husband, father and brother, passed away Monday, January 28, 2008. Jim was born on November 3, 1935 in Powell, Wyoming. He attended and graduated from Prosser High School.
