Johnny Brown

March 13, 1970 — July 25, 2023

Nettleton

Johnny W Brown’s unshakeable faith in his Lord and Savior and love for life did not come to an end with his death. Johnny passed away peacefully on July 25, 2023 in his home at the age of 53 after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by his loved ones. Johnny is survived by the love of his life and wife, Felicia Brown; his precious children, Victoria “Torrey” Brown and Lewis Brown; a granddaughter, Taylin Brown; his brother and sister, Jeff Brown (Keisha) and Jeanie Carter (David); and several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Jody Brown and Mildred Brown Bridges; and his grandparents, George and Annie Brown and C.V. and Pearlie Towery.

If you did not know Johnny Brown, the man’s appearance was deceiving. Standing at 6’3” with a shaved head and arms covered in tattoos, he struck an intimidating figure with those who did not know him. But contrary to any perceptions of the man, those who knew him knew the truth: Johnny was a soft soul and a selfless man. He took great pride in helping others, and he loved being around people. Johnny was quick with a joke, and quicker with a smile.Johnny adored animals, especially his beloved pets.

Johnny enjoyed motorcycles and was a true automobile aficionado. Many of his hobbies and much of his employment and business endeavors revolved around cars in some capacity – restoration, mechanic work, drag racing, classic car shows, and many more. Johnny was blessed with a gift for automobiles. From basic mechanic work to full-on restorations, he could do it all and took great pleasure in his work.

When not involved with his other hobbies, Johnny enjoyed going to concerts with his wife, Felicia. He enjoyed a wide variety of music and overhearing him whistling or singing to pass the time was not an unusual occurrence. In addition to his wide range of hobbies and spending time with his beloved family, Johnny also collected firearms and knives.

Johnny was a Christian and a faithful man. Despite the hardships of life and the difficult journey Johnny made toward the end of his life that might have broken the spirits of other men, he always kept his faith in his Lord and Savior. He said, “I’ve tried to do the best in life with what I’ve had.”

And he did.

“Who loves you more than your Momma? Johnny Brown! “
