Ky Brown Memorial Fund
Dear Friends,
The Beaumont Police Department is mourning the loss of Lt. Ky Brown who passed away late last night surrounded by family and friends.
I had the opportunity to talk with Ky before his health began rapidly deteriorating two weeks ago. He expressed his deep appreciation for the efforts being undertaken to help him fight this battle. The gumbo benefit we held raised was extremely successful. Coupled with these generous GoFundMe donations, financial resources will be available to his wife and young son. Though he is gone, I know Ky is comforted knowing that this support will there for them.
Lt. Brown served the citizens of Beaumont for 32 years. His service and sacrifice will not be forgotten. Funeral arrangements are pending. Please keep Lt. Brown’s friends and family in your thoughts and prayers.
