Obituary of Vernon E Brown

Vernon E. Brown Sr. (Dad) was born on April 2, 1934 in Douglas County, Missouri to Lawrence & Nellie Brown. He was second oldest of eight siblings. As a young man he was called to the ministry. No one was a stranger to Dad, he would give whatever was in his pocket to help someone and pray with those in need. He loved preaching, reading the Word of God and singing old hymns. Dad raised 10 children - Sherry, Teresa, Vern Jr, Linnie, Harlan, Ruddy, Randy, Kim, Brad, and Jackson. He had 19 grand kids and 33 great grand kids. Dad went to heaven on March 30, 2019 where he had a wondrous reunion with his Mom and Dad, his Sister Lilly, and 3 of his boys. He will be missed but we know he is finally where he longed to be all this life - with his Savior. "It's Time to Come Home" My life is not over, I just started a new birth But I learned many things While here on Earth. I learned to trust God, And in all that you do He will forgive your sins Because He never stops loving you. I learned to feel secure and never alone, I learned God has a place for me and it's my heavenly home. I had a destiny and it was to be free. One day I heard someone calling my name, "Vern, it's time to come with me. It's time to come home my child, for I am your heavenly King. Enter my gates with praise and rejoice as my angels sing. Don't worry about your family for they will not be left in grief." Now since you all know where I'm going, I won't say goodbye. Because we'll meet again. I'll just say 'see you in heaven' To all my family and friends. A private memorial service will be held in Port Orchard, WA on May 4, 2019 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. for family and friends of Vernon.
