August 25, 1961 - May 3, 2012
1st. Sgt. Kevin J. Brown, 50, died May 3, 2012 at his home in Mineral Wells, Texas.

Kevin defended his country for 32 years while serving in the U.S. Army and the Army National Guard at which time he served two tours in Iraq.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about what you meant to B Co, and to me as my 1SG, my boss and my friend!! Memories of things at work that made us all laugh! Some of the conversations we all would have in the mornings still run thru my mind! I'm glad I was able to be a part of UTES 2 with you if only for the short time I was there. I will take what I have learned from you and only Hope to become half the leader you were to us!! RIP Top!!! You are the sunshine now :-)

Psalms 91,11, "For He shall give His angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways."
I will miss a good friend and battle buddy. Thank you for the memories and all the times we shared. For all the years in the Army, for scary moments overseas in Iraq and times there filled with laughter. Good memories of a steadfast friend and mentor. Thank you for all. Now you guard Heaven's Gates and keep a diligent watch. Thanks to my buddy. You will be greatly missed. I salute you my 1SGT Kevin J. Brown,you will be sorely missed by all your Soldiers now you are on a different patrol. God Bless!
