Rev. B.G. Brown, 76, died Wednesday, July 2, 2008, at his home in Clinton, 
Missouri. Rev. Brown was born December 7, 1931, in Miami, Florida, to 
William L. and Mildred G. Brown. He married his high school sweetheart, Diane 
Morgan, on August 28, 1953, at Delaney Street Baptist Church, Orlando, Florida. 
His beloved Diane continues to reside at their home in Clinton. During the 
Korean War, Rev. Brown served in the United States Navy, stationed aboard the 
U.S.S. Mississippi in Norfolk, Virginia. During his Navy years, he befriended 
many spirit-filled Christian young people who encouraged his growth in the 
Lord. His hunger for God continued all his life. Rev. Brown received his 
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1958 from Stetson University, Deland, Florida, and 
his Master of Divinity degree in 1962 from Midwestern Baptist Theological 
Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri. Rev. Brown served his Lord and Savior as a 
pastor from 1954 until he retired in September 2006. His last pastorate was at 
Corinth Baptist Church, Chilhowee, Missouri. In addition to his wife, survivors 
include their three children, David M. Brown, Dallas, Texas, Debra A. Howerton 
(and husband, Jim), Chilhowee, and Daniel R. Brown, 
also of Chilhowee. Rev. Brown was "Papa" to nine surviving grandchildren, Megan 
Diane Hodges (and husband, Brian), Danica Morgan Brown, 
Jennifer Howerton Morris (and husband, Aaron), James 
Michael Howerton, Jonathan Mason Howerton (and wife, Stacey), David Andrew 
Howerton, Erin Brown Hocker (and husband, Jeremy), Michelle Elizabeth Brown, 
Katherine Brown Pippitt (and husband, Colby). Three great-grandchildren 
survive: Chandler Brown, Ethan Hocker, and Emmrie Hocker. Rev. Brown is also 
survived by a sister, Patricia A. Daniels; an aunt, Mary Frances Keith; and by 
many dear cousins, nieces, and nephews. A memorial service celebrating Rev. 
Brown's life will be held Saturday, July 19th, 1PM, at Rosemont Baptist Church, 
4236 N. John Young Parkway, Orlando, Florida. In lieu of flowers, the family 
suggests contributions to Twin Lakes Hospice, 725 East Ohio Street, Clinton, MO
