Obituary of
Brown, 1st Sgt. Kevin J.
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 š
