Jerry Ray Brown left us in body, but not in spirit on Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2021.
Mr. Brown was born in Whiteright Texas, the sixth of seven children born to James Grover Cleveland Brown and Nina Mae Thrasher Brown on June 21, 1935. He was a member of the Church of Christ. In his own words, "I found I have had a good race and
have kept the faith."
He received his degrees from East Texas State University and LSU. There he pursued a life career teaching and retired from the mathematics department of the University of Tennessee at Martin.
Jerry will be cremated so that some of his ashes will be put with the family plot and the remainder will be placed with his first born, Eric Ray Brown, who passed away last
September.
Jerry was a loving, caring man who was loved by all that came to know him. He is survived by his son, Shawn Neal Brown; five grandchildren, Erika, Jonathan, Reinhard, Leo and Max Brown; his brother, John Brown; and his "little Squirt" Lenda Fuller Brown.
As a father there could have been no better. We will forever have him in our heart and soul.
