Mr. Brown was born in Iredell County to the late James Clyde and Gladys Proctor Brown on January 21, 1941. He was a veteran of the United States Army. He was a member of Reedy Creek Baptist Church.

Mr. Brown loved to coach, beginning in his Army days, and lasting throughout his lifetime.  He authored 32 books consisting of family history, genealogy, and historical fiction. Since the 1970s, he has loved vacationing with his family in Surf City, NC where so many precious memories were made. He will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his granddaughter, Katherine Rebecca Brown, and his brother, Elmer Brown.
