David, you were always an encouragement to Carol and I while we were in Ames. You will be missed be everyone that knows you! Karan, Carol and I are praying for you and all of the family during this time.
Be at peace Uncle Dave. You were my uncle for most of my life and I still remember the time Susie and I spent with you. Prayers of peace and love to all of the Brown families.
Sending prayers of peace and comfort to all that knew and loved this man. I serve with SFC Marc Brown in the Iowa National Guard, he's a great Soldier and fine man, so I assume his father deserves a lot of the credit for that. Hope you can find comfort knowing he is not in pain any longer and in a better place. Peace, Kathy Barton
