Pahpa Brown’s Obituary

Brown William, 76. Passed away on May 3rd of 2026 at Peace Health Hospital surrounded by family & loved ones by his side.

He was born on October 10th of 1949 in Kolonia Pohnpei, Micronesia. He was the second oldest son of the late Alik Brown and Mary Brown.

He was united in marriage to the late Damaris (Dannis) William. He was a hard-working man who had gone to New York to receive an outstanding recognition certificate for his dedication & talent in electric engineering. He was an electrician for more than 20 years. He was charming, charismatic, adventurous & was an amazing individual. He had an unmatched ability to bring out the best in everyone he meets. His selflessness & huge heart gravitates the hearts of those near & far, forming a connection with such ease from his natural charm & authenticity. Brown finds joy in everything he embarks upon. It could be just relaxing, listening to music, chit-chatting with a friend or loved ones, taking walks, fixing things or just enjoying God’s creation. He was also a godly man, a transitional deacon who loved to spend his time in church, giving back and helping his community wholeheartedly.

He was a loving and humorous man, father, brother, son and grandfather to so many. He welcomed others with a smile that lit up a room, a kind heart and warm presence that made people gravitate towards him, one who always knew how to make everyone laugh, at ease & welcomed. He had his own inside jokes with everyone. Teasing his grandkids that they would turn into chickens if they ate too much fried chicken skin. He made sure they went to church and Sunday school, prayed over our family often, and would scold and tease his grandkids if they woke up late for Sunday school. Some favorite memories with him were spending weekends having family dinner together, conversing, laughing, enjoying good food and each other’s company. He loved taking his grandchildren on adventures like going to the ice cream shop, car rides for the scenery, camping, and much more. Brown made every moment with him special. He will always be remembered for his kindness, big heart, consideration for others, sense of humor, and calm demeanor but most of all the unwavering love he showed so freely to everyone dear to him. His compassion is truly inspirational. His song might have ended, but his melody lingers with us forever.
