Brown, 74, beloved brother, Dad and Gramps passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, January 15, 2023 after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Mike was born on May 5, 1948 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Archie Brown & Elaine Morris Brown. Mike was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Glenys and the love of his life, his wife Kaye Brown. He is survived by his children: Jerone D. Richards (Debbie) Sandy, Utah; April Gayle Whymark, Scottsbluff, Nebraska; Pamela Elaine Royal (Clayton) Plano, Texas; and Michele Lee Reeves (Travis), Lehi, Utah; 13 grandchildren, Jarrett, Riley, Wesley, Olivia, Alexandria, Savannah, Madi Kaye, Preston, Emily, Oliver, Avery, Layla and Miles; and siblings, Jerolyn McKay, Littleton, Colorado; Darlene Borget, Orem, Utah; and Bonnie Danielson, Gilbert, Arizona. Mike was in the military for the majority of his life. His career followed his enlistment in the US Navy where he sailed on the USS Ticonderoga. Afterward he received a BS in Criminology from Weber State University while he was working as a mechanic and a military policeman. Later he worked for the US Air Force at Hill Air Force Base as an Electronic Technician and served in the Air National Guard where he retired as Chief Master Sergeant. After retirement, he drove his truck towing trailers all across the country and Kaye would often join him in his journeys. At the end of his life, he drove a Special Needs school bus for Canyon’s School District, which was the highlight of his day especially while he was battling cancer. He made many friends there and he loved driving the students back and forth. Mike enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He loved basketball or whatever sports his Grandchildren played; he was their best support even from afar. He loved being outdoors and wanted to be a Forest Ranger his entire life. He and Kaye loved double-feature movie dates, he loved motor cycles, new cars, playing card games, riding his bike, exercising and fishing trips to Alaska. Mike was a wonderful disciple of Jesus Christ and served as an ordinance worker in the Draper Utah Temple. He never missed an opportunity to reach out to a friend or neighbor to offer help with moving, car repair, shoveling snow in the winter, or mowing lawns in the summer. Mike was loved by all the many people he helped especially near the end of his life.
