Before leaving Jamaica he worked as a mechanic for many years at Kingston Industrial Garage, he then spent most of his mechanic career in the United States working for AUDI dealerships "Audi Manhattan" and "Zumbach".
Gladstone was always a huge proponent of giving back to family and his community as much as humanly possible. He was able to extend this drive to the York St. community when he served as Vice President of the York Street Past Students Association Inc./New York Chapter.
Gladstone Brown loved his family (immediate and extended), he enjoyed his family members, nieces and nephews and did all he could to progress them forward. He loved serving the Lord and grew to understand and accept the Lords ‘will' for his life.
