He was a staunch protector of children and did pro bono work for Aiken County Social Services. Mr. Brown also served on the Dispute Resolution Board for the South Carolina Bar.
Outside his legal practice, Mr. Brown was known as an avid fisherman to the extent that he and his wife moved from Aiken to their home at Clark's Hill Lake in 1997. While there Mr. Brown provided legal assistance for the Towns of Modoc, Plum Branch, and Parksville.
He was also made an honorary member of the Modoc Fire Department in recognition of his valuable assistance and counsel.
Mr. Brown was the son of the late Julia and Austin Brown of Paris, TN., and is survived by his wife, Harriette J. Brown, of Modoc Shores, a daughter and son-in-law, Julia and Steve Davis, of Aiken, a son and daughter-in-law, William and Kelly Harris, of Decatur, AL, a brother, Charles Brown, of Paris, TN, and two granddaughters, Abigail Davis and Amanda Harris.
In accordance with Mr. Brown's wishes, a memorial service will be planned after the first of the year when the moon is full and the bass are biting.
