Obituary
Lawrence (Larry) Lee Brown 1940-2020
Lawrence Lee Brown, 80, died October 6, 2020, at his
home surrounded by his family.
He was born September 13, 1940, in Rantoul, to
Michael and Margaret (Scheurich) Brown. He married
Brenda Joyce Martin on November 30, 1963. He is
survived by his wife of 56 years, Brenda; daughter,
Margie (John) Camille of Lincoln; son, Michael Roy
(Michelle) of Lincoln; son Jeramie (Jessica) of Las
Vegas, NV; four grandchildren and four
great-grandchildren, and several nieces, nephews and
cousins and his beloved Boston Terrier, Buster.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brother
Patrick Brown, sisters Thelma Hmura and Lorretta
Leonard (and Lorretta’s husband Tom), one nephew,
Steven Leonard, and one niece, Christine (Leonard)
Ladd.
Larry was a United States Army veteran. He retired
from Primerica in 2004.
He was a member of Lincoln First United Methodist
Church. He loved spending time with his family and
friends. |
He enjoyed golfing, bowling,
baseball, fishing, hunting, working in the yard, and
motorcycle riding. Larry volunteered at the American
Cancer Society Relay for Life, Habitat for Humanity,
and the Food Bank. He was always willing to
lend a hand when someone was in need. He always had
a smile on his face, and you would always hear him
whistling. Larry never met a stranger; he would stop
and talk to anyone.
Due to unforeseen
circumstances, services are postponed until further
notice.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Larry’s
name to the American Cancer Society or the American
Heart Association.
