In Loving Memory of Michael Darryl Brown

Mr. Michael Darryl Brown was born on May 18, 1951 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan to the late Manuel Sr. and Rose Marie Brown.   "Big Mike," as he was also know as, graduated from Central High School in 1969 and attended college.   He was the proud, lovely father of one daughter, Lakeisha Henry of Killeen, TX and three grandchildren, Jaylin, Ja'mari, and Jalize.  He moved to El Paso, TX in 2004 following an injury.  Under the watchful care of his loving, devoted sister Lisa Jewell, he was guided and nursed back to health and lived a full and wonderful life until he entered into eternal rest quietly and peacefully at home on June 5, 2024 surrounded by his loving sister, Lisa and friends.  In addition to his parents, Michael was preceded in death by his brother, Dennis Brown.  He was a well established graphic artist whose talents were on display throughout America.  His smile would light up a room and he would always make you forget what troubles you had.   "Big Mike" enjoyed drawing, painting, doing word search puzzles, eating his favorite snacks, and watching his favorite TV shows.  He was a caring, happy person who loved life.
