Keith P. Brown

02 Mar 1936 - 12 Aug 2022

The last few years of his life, he was a resident of The Carrington in Lincolnwood, Illinois, where he joined a Veterans group and loved working out in the gym. He was born on March 2, 1936 in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. He then moved to Lansing, Michigan where he lived until graduating with an Engineering Degree from Michigan State University and began his first career, with General Electric. He was the son of Irene and Carroll Brown. He married Genie G Wiseley on September 16, 1961, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

He is survived by his wife, Genie; children, Sabra (Walter) Black of Acworth, Georgia, and Anjanette (Deb) Brown of Chicago, Illinois, and five grandchildren, Carter (Nona) Black, Garrison Black, Alanah (Genevieve) Hodges, Nicholas Hodges, and Ethan (Madison) Hodges. He is also survived by a brother, Bruce (Janet) Brown.

His job with General Electric took him and Genie to many states, and they found a home of 45 years in Roanoke, Virginia. Keith loved to golf and enjoyed many golfing trips to Myrtle Beach. But his future changed in a wonderful way when he got a letter in July of 1987 asking him to assume a new career by serving as an Assistant to the Bishop of the Virginia Synod of the soon-to-be-formed Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. He worked there full time for many years and then part time until finally retiring in 2014.

A memorial service will be held at a later date at St. Philip Lutheran Church in Roanoke, Virginia.
