Jimmy T. Brown of Stony Point passed away after a two-year battle with cancer at his home on Thursday, September 30, 2021. He was born in Vivian, La., on August 27, 1948, to the late J.T. and Bernice Wood Brown and raised in Atlanta, Texas.

Mr. Brown served in the US Navy in Reconnaissance Attack Squadron Heavy 3 during the Vietnam War. He met his wife of 44 years, the late Martha Cates Brown of Statesville, N.C., in Atlanta, Ga., while on leave. He had varied professions in his life , including breaking horses, pipe fitter, truck driver, co-owner of J&M Mobile Home Repair and Shiloh Antiques. He retired from auto truck transport in Cleveland, N.C. He was an Assistant Scout Master for BSA Troops 376 and 609 and a member of American Legion Post 65, DAV Chapter 34, and an NRA Patron Member.

He enjoyed IMSA competition pistol, classic muscle cars, and good music. He was a loving husband and father that always provided for his family. He saw a lot of this world in his time, and always planned to see more. May his spirit fly high and see all that he couldn’t see on this earth.
