James Earl Brown Sr

James Earl Brown, Sr., aged 67, of Villa Rica, Georgia passed away on Sunday, October 31, 2021. He was born on November 28, 1953 in Trenton, North Carolina. James was a graduate of Clifford J. Scott High School in East Orange, New Jersey. He worked at Port Newark for 32 years as a longshoreman. He was a strong, caring and generous man who firmly believed in providing for his family. James will forever leave a positive influence on the lives he’s touched. One of his favorite motivational sayings was “When the frog starts hoppin', there ain’t no stoppin'." Meaning you don’t stop when obstacles get in the way, you must keep going. James was fascinated with cars and boats. He enjoyed spending time in the garden and fishing. Outdoors was his happy place. A bright spot in his day was spending time with his grandchildren. James was a Christian and also loved to read his Bible.

Preceding him in death were his father, Robert Earl Brown Sr, and a daughter, Lisa Michelle Bentley.
