Obituary published on-line by Deaton Funeral Home.
NOTE: Faye and Hollis were a beautiful couple in every way. Hollis was a known "Prayer Warrior". He wore holes in the carpet next to his bed from kneeling in prayer. He was gentle and kind with the love of Jesus as an unseen halo around him. If you had a problem, be it health, financial, or whatever, Hollis Brown was the Man of God you wanted to petition the Lord on your behalf. I remain grateful for his remembrance of me in his prayers. Our loss is surely Heaven's gain.
