Stephen Glen Brown passed away unexpectedly at his home in Georgetown, Texas on Sunday, March 29, 2020 at the age of 67.
Steve graduated from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Agricultural Science and received his Pharmacy degree from Creighton University. He spent his professional career as a pharmacist with the Department of Veterans Affairs, believing strongly in his roll to support those who serve our country. Steve retired in 2016 after 29 years of service.
He loved golf and spent many days each week on the course. Steve enjoyed all sports, but especially Nebraska Cornhusker football and Kansas Jayhawks basketball. After moving to Georgetown, Steve participated in the Georgetown Police Department’s Citizens Police Academy (CPAAA) and became an active volunteer in the community. He enjoyed walking dogs at the Georgetown Animal Shelter, helping with the Blue Santa program, and was a member of the Community Emergency Response Team. He never did learn the word “no”.
As much as golf, sports, volunteer work, a good red wine or an Irish whiskey were important parts of his life, absolutely nothing held his love and passion like his family. Steve and his wife, Kimberly, were married for 37 years (not long enough) and were blessed with two daughters who were the center of his world, Jessica Lyn and Amanda Erin. Steve taught his daughters, by example, that it takes such a little amount of kindness to brighten someone’s day. He was extremely proud of the strong women they are today.
As a grandfather, Steve’s love for Nolan and Kai knew no bounds. His life was blessed and rich with friends and family. We have lost someone we love, but we will live to celebrate his life.
Steve is survived by his wife, Kim, daughters Jessica (Brad) Mues and Amanda Brown, and grandsons Nolan and Kai Mues. Also surviving are brothers Larry (Sandy) Brown and Ron (Cindy) Brown; brother-in-law Michael (Kristi) Cornette, sister-in-law Julie (Wayne) Jensen and four nephews, Cooper, Ben, Matt and Andrew. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Steve’s wishes were to be cremated and have his ashes scattered. He wanted neither a funeral or a memorial service but asked to be remembered with a story shared and a toast in remembrance to celebrate his time with us. If you have a favorite “Steve” story or memory, please share it with the family. They would like his grandsons to know this wonderful man. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to CPAAA, 3500 DB Wood Road, Georgetown, Texas 78628.
