We bid farewell to our beloved Gerald George "Jerry" Brown, who passed away Feb. 11, 2026, in Granbury, Texas. He was born Aug. 12, 1932, to George and Ada (Holmes) Brown in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Gerald was a man of adventure and spirit who found joy in every moment of his 93 years.
Gerald's adventurous spirit was truly remarkable. He ran an impressive 35 marathons, held a black belt in Aikido, and even earned his tandem skydiving "wings" at the ripe age of 93 after five exhilarating jumps. He was a professional architect and interior designer. Gerald loved creating art to share with others. His zest for life was infectious and inspired everyone around him.
Gerald was a proud veteran of the Korean War and a member of Roll Call, a veteran’s organization in the DFW area.
Yet, for all his accomplishments and pursuits, what mattered most to Gerald was his family. He was a loving husband, having spent 68 cherished years with his wife, Kathryn "Kay" Diane Brown. He was a devoted father to his sons, Jeffery, Robert and James.
Gerald is preceded in death by his wife, Kathryn Brown; parents, George and Ada Brown; and sister, Lorraine Brown.
He is survived by his sons, Jeffrey Brown and wife Joan, Robert Brown and wife Pam, and Jim Brown and wife Monica; 13 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
