Arizona Birth Certificate
The White Mountain Independent,
Show Low, Arizona ~ 11/06/2015
Jack A. Brown died Oct. 28, 2015, in St. Johns. He was born May 2, 1929, in St. Johns, one of eight children of Joseph Albert Brown and Elda Whiting.
He was a fourth-generation Arizonan and was blessed to live a long and full life spent doing what he loved: ranching, farming and raising a family.
Jack served in the Arizona State Legislature for over 36 years as a “cowboy legislator,” revered for his ability to bridge partisan differences. He served as the Senate Floor Leader, Senate Minority Leader and House Minority Leader and championed rural interests. In 2008, the Arizona Republic named him one of the “Greatest Arizona Lawmakers of the Modern Era.”
Jack served as president of the Apache County Fair Commission and the Kiwanis Club. He was an active member of the Arizona Town Hall, Arizona Cattle Growers’ Association and Arizona Farm Bureau.
In addition to a lifetime of public service, Jack also enjoyed his participation in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving as a missionary in Brazil from 1948-51 and as a bishop for many years.
Jack was a dedicated public servant as well as successful businessman, but perhaps his greatest accomplishment was in successfully raising his family who follow his example of service.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Anna Vee Smithson Brown, in 1993.
He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Beverly Butcher Brown, and her daughter, Heidi; his sister, Louine Shields; his children, David (Roxanne) Brown, Norman (Karen) Brown, Cynthia (Dave) DeCoursey, Douglas (Cindy) Brown, Carol (Orlando) Mora, Michael (Tiffany) Brown and Janna (Christopher) Day; 36 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Stake Center, 2000 W. Cleveland in St. Johns.
A visitation will be held from 5-7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, and from 9-9:45 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9, at the Stake Center.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Apache County Historical Society, P.O. Box 146, St. Johns, AZ 85936 or the LDS Church Humanitarian Services, c/o LDS Philanthropies, 450 N. University Ave., Provo, UT 84604.
