Obituary of Jonathan C. Brown

Allen, TX: Our special angel, Jonathan Charles Brown, age 26, passed away peacefully on August 13, 2009. Born December 11, 1982, he succeeded despite life’s challenges, growing up to be a sweet and caring son, brother and friend to many. Believing that it was better to give than to receive, he generously gave himself to his church, family, friends, various community organizations and church sponsored building projects for St. Jude Catholic Church and First Baptist Church of Allen, and was an active member for Habitat for Humanity. Jonathan participated for many years in the Allen Special Olympics and touched so many people with his smile. He valued his time visiting the Adirondacks and fishing with family and friends and working alongside his brother on their cars.
