Pat Brown was born to Wayne Brown and Madelyn "June" Allen in Long Beach, California on January 3, 1956. He was the fourth of eight children.
His family moved to Kansas, where he attended Easton High School.
Pat lost his sister Carol and father at a very young age.
Pat joined the Air Force at 17 years old. After serving our country he attended college in Missouri for a while. He then took a sales job that allowed him to travel full time. Pat would often talk about the people he got to meet and cuisines he got to experience from all over the country.
In 1983, Pat got a new job in the Detroit area. He began to spend a lot of time around the Office Manager, Peggy Dahlke's desk. He would tell her his classic jokes and show her tricks with a pencil to break the ice. Whether it was his antics or twinkly eyes, eventually it worked. He convinced her to go to a business dinner with him. Just a short time later, in January of 1984, Pat got his first official date with Peg. They knew it was something special, and by June of that year, they were married. Pat decided to slow down his traveling and started a family with Peg. They raised four children in Minnesota: Patrick, Andy, Betsy, and Lydia.
In 1998 they moved to Texas, where Pat continued to work in the precision measuring equipment sales field. In 2008, Pat left behind the corporate world to pursue his lifelong dream of woodworking and bought his own cabinet shop in East Texas. Around the same time, he had the privilege of becoming Papa for the first time. His grandkids were his pride and joy; he treasured every moment he got to spend with them. Pat was known for his quality work, amazing brunches, corny dad jokes, role as Santa, and tinkering with cuckoo clocks that would go off at all hours of the night.
In his retirement years, his days consisted of honey-do's and spending time with Peg. In the evenings, he would be found fishing down on the dock. "One last cast", he would say whenever it was time to come up for dinner. The projects were never ending at the lake house as Pat remodeled their home room by room. He spent countless hours in his shop making custom cabinetry and anything else his family requested. He always had time for you and was just a phone call away to help in any way he knew how.
Pat's faith in Jesus was unwavering through all the highs and lows of life. He was a devoted husband, loving father, top-notch Papa and always generous to everyone.
He was preceded in death by his father Wayne, mother June, sisters Beverly and Carol, and brothers Randy and Jay.
Pat is survived by his wife Peg, children Patrick and Emily, Andy and Sarah, Betsy and Garrett, Lydia and Cody. His grandchildren Tanner, Zeke, Lily, Boaz, Ryan, and Samuel Patrick. Along with brothers: Brad, Brian and Bart.
