Freddie Brown Jr.

Freddie Brown, Jr was born on April 22, 1958, in Omaha, Nebraska to Freddie and June Brown. From this union 8 children were born. He confessed his belief in Christ at an early age at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Omaha, NE. He joined the Salem Baptist Church to worship with his wife, Jacquelynne and his two sons, Freddie III and Jason Lee Brown.

His formative education years began at Lake/Conestoga Elementary Schools, Horace Mann/McMillan Middle Schools, and he graduated from North High School, here in Omaha.

Freddie was employed at Pettit’s Pastry in his teen years. After marriage, he worked at Fruehauf Wielding and eventually started his own entrepreneur ventures. Freddie owned a photography business, a lawn service, and a building construction organization. His successful business endeavors included F & J's Lawn services, J.R. Action Photography, and The Beanstalk Childcare & Academy. He was a member of the NAACP, he was a community activist, role-model and a mentor.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his father, Father Brown, Sr., his wife of 44 years, Jacquelynne, his two sons Freddie III and Jason, six grandchildren, Cason, Jalen, Jada, Freddie IV, Jason Jr, Ja’Marcus and a host of other beloved relatives. Surviving siblings include Freddie Jean Shelton, Edward Brown, and Georgia/Charles Ford. He was preceded in death by his mother, June Marie Brown, his brothers, Earnest Lee, Richard Rodney, Raymond, and his sister, June Rose Brown.

Freddie loved entertaining and looking out for ways to brighten the day of others. He loved helping people, he liked giving flowers to show his concern, while always modeling his giving spirit. This was also realized in his mentoring relationships with the youth in this area picking them up, taking them to games, and returning them home afterwards. He truly loved his family, community, and friends. We will miss his giving spirit and genuine love for all he encountered.
