Ken was the son of Frederick William and Dorothy Helen (O'Shea) Brown.

His siblings were: Judith (Judy), Paul, Craig and Kent.

Ken was my best friend, who acted as my big brother and was a guiding light during my teen years.

I met Ken when I was 15 (1965) , as he was walking his route as a US Postal Carrier. We used to chat each day as he delivered the family mail and we formed a friendship that grew stronger as the years passed.

He taught me to drive a car, how to dress, how to eat properly in restaurants and honed my manners in public. He was a gentle soul who dated occasionally, but never married.

He was a US Army veteran/Reservist from around 1963-1967 and served in Okinawa as a supply clerk.

He went with me to the Army Recruiter in 1968 and supported me in spirit during my 20 year Army career.

Ken loved to travel, and in 1972 he visited me when I was stationed in Germany. In 1988, we also traveled to Korea just after the Olympic Games. He loved Korea and said some smaller Korean towns reminded him of his time in Okinawa.

Ken had a cousin named Bill, whom I met several times. I also met his Grandpa O'Shea, who quite a nice character.

Ken was a long-time employee of the US Postal Service and was a Route Supervisor when he suddenly passed away from pneumonia.

I think of him often.
