Michael Andrew Brown was born on JULY 1, 1956 in Opelika, Alabama and spent most of his youth in Middlesboro Kentucky. Michael attended the Lincoln School; a segregated school for black students in Kentucky until it closed in 1965. He then attended the East End School, the new segregated school until our mother migrated to New York City in 1970. Michael graduated from Chelsea High school and obtained an Associate's Degree in Communications from New York City College, which is known today as City Tech.

Michael began working at Fleet Messenger Service, Inc. in the mid 1970's until the late 1980's He then began working for a Video Monitoring Service for several years before developing hand spasms (Myotonic Dystrophy) a muscular Disorder which made it difficult for him to continue working. He dealt with this disorder for many years, not letting it slow him down. He formed and was president of the Myotonic Dystrophy Society in New York for others who were suffering from the same disease.

Anyone who knew Michael knew he was always traveling somewhere with the United States to visit relatives. He has been to Tennessee, Indiana, Florida, North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC. Michael did not let only grass grown under his fee. He should have been nicknamed the "Traveling Man" for all of the adventures he took in his life. Michael was also a food connoisseur and frequented many restaurants throughout New York City and where ever he visited. Michael was known to travel near and for to partake in a meal with friends and family.

He enjoyed most of all his visits to Tennessee to see his Cousin Brenda and her husband James. He enjoyed them so much that the often thought of moving there.

Now Michael is on his greatest journey of his life now that he has left us and gone home to the Lord. The Lord called out to him and Michael answered.
