    Ronnie was born into this life on May 14, 1951 in Center, TX to Howell and Rosalyn Flowers Brown. He passed from this life on Aug. 19, 2008 in Shreveport, LA. He was a manager for Security Plan Insurance for some 20 years. He loved the people he worked with, and will be sadly missed by them. He was an avid golfer, and left behind many friends on the golf course. “The Ronnie”, as he was known by many, was a very talented musician, using his talent along with his sister, Cindy in the Faith Church of God where his mother and late father ministered. He has left a big void in the church services. He was one of those people that “to know him was to love him”. He had an impact wherever he was, and a very unique way of brightening up the lives of others. Life will never be the same for loved ones left behind.

    He is survived by his wife, Molly Brown; mother, Rosalyn Brown; daughter, Brandi Jean; son, Brandon Brown; two step-sons and their wives, Jeff and Lindsey Free, Josh and Amber Free; two sisters, Cindy Brown and Connie Pierce and husband Dave; five grandchildren, Brenae Gould, Savannah Brown, Bryan G. Brown, Kirsten Lindsey and Jonathan Free.

    He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Ronald Bryan Brown, Jr. and his father, Howell Bryan Brown.
