Grieving loss of Walter Brown sr

Five Children Mourning the Loss of Our Father, Walter H. Brown Sr.

It is with shattered hearts that we share the sudden and tragic loss of our beloved father, Walter Herbert Brown Sr. He passed away unexpectedly on September 13, 2025, at just 62 years old. Our family is devastated beyond words.

We are Walter’s five children, and we are broken. Dad was supposed to call when he got home early Saturday morning. Instead, at 1:34 a.m., his brother in Christ called us with the words we’ll never forget: “Hit-and-run. Your father’s gone.”

At the hospital, they said it again—as if hearing it twice would make it real. Dad had just stepped outside, gospel music playing, to check why the radio stopped. He thought he’d be back in a minute. A driver who never stopped made sure he wasn’t.

No more off-key renditions of “Precious Lord” at church.

No more sermons about faith over fried chicken.

No more late-night fridge raids, unexpected calls, or his laughter filling our homes.

Now, it’s just us—five kids—holding on to memories and facing a funeral bill we can hardly fathom.

We need $11,000 to cover the funeral, flowers, and a simple service. Nothing fancy—just something final, something worthy of the man who poured faith, music, and love into every life he touched.

If you ever heard him singing his gospel songs off-key, smiled when he preached, or felt his love, please give what you can. $10, $20—every bit helps.

Your prayers, love, and support are carrying us through. Please know that every gift, every prayer, feels like a hug back to us.

Thank you,

On Behalf of The Children of Walter H. Brown Sr.
