Just learned of John’s passing. Always made sure to stop me to say hello. Condolences to his family.

John was a gentle man who was more concerned about other's needs than his own. He loved the Lord, loved the Word of God, and loved talking about his wonderful family. He will be deeply missed by his family at Grace Baptist Church in Mitchell.

My friend and brother in Christ. I will miss our visits and hearing you pray on Wednesday nights. There is great glory in heaven as you have moved for the last time to your eternal home with Jesus.

We have known John for 20 plus years. We met when Todd and I met, and became friends. Throughout our years we have lost track of each other's lifestyle but every once in awhile I would see him on a Saturday shopping for his needs at Walmart. He would stop while I stocking a shelf or going on break and say 'Hey Miss Gara' and he would always speak of his grand boy and going back to Texas with a huge, warm, happy, content smile on his face. It's been a bit since I've talked with him as I remembered one of our conversations was about a family reunion coming up in June in Texas I believe, and how he was saving up to attend. You were a good man John Brown. Im sure your spiritual guidance has guided more than you imagined. Sending prayers to his son, his grandson and to the rest of his family. You have our deepest sympathies.

John Brown was a very kind gentle man! Humourous and a guy that could Light up a room! No matter how poor his health was he would still say he was blessed and thankful for what God and Lord Jesus did for him on that cross 2000 years ago. Sad for us not to see him around but happy for him to be with his Lord in heaven and no more pain to endure! Blessed to know John!
