Ed was active at several different churches, but his recent attendance was spent at Alexandria Valley Church of God. He was a successful business owner of Brown Construction and Plumbing for 54 years. He enjoyed spending his time working, camping and riding his motorcycle. He had a special bond with his grandson, Karter Brown. He was his little best friend and little shadow. He is also survived by the mother of his children Louise Rhodes. The love that they shared for their children was a different kind of special bond that only parents can understand. Also, he is survived by his special friends who were like family in his heart, Lee and Julie Brown. Ed was a loving father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He was loved by all of his family, and he will be greatly missed.
