"Bo" as we knew him at Texas A&M, was my roommate for 2 years. This was our Freshman Squadron 4 Bonfire cutting picture from 1968. Bo was 1 of 100 black students in a student body of 12,000. Our friendship lasted the ensueing 5 decades. He was the most steadfastly faithful man I have ever known with a sharp wit and everlasting smile. I rejoice knowing he is now serving greatly in the company of our Lord's heavenly hosts. We'll done, good and faithful servant...Gig 'em, Bo!

To Sandre my condolences and prayers to you .

Dear Sandy and the rest of the family, we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of your dearest one and our brother in Christ, Larry. He had a quirky sly sense of humor which befitted his quiet demeanor, and his passion for sharing the Gospel was undeniable. We have many fond memories of our family fellowshipping with yours and the Curtain Family here in Cleveland, Ohio years ago, both within and without East Mt. Zion Baptist Church (EMZ). May your remembrance of him sustain you in the days ahead, as you continue your family's legacy of living a life that points others to Jesus. We were blessed to know and love our brother and we continue to be blessed to know and love all of you.

Dear Brown Family,

Those we love do not go away, we cherish all memories as they walk with us every day. We see them, we hear them, as they are always near.  Feeling their love and energy as we hold them forever dear. 

Believing in continued blessings, healing and strength. 

Sincerely, 
Families: Williams, Smith, Barber and Chavez

To the Brown family,

We are so grateful to have known Rev. Brown. He would always take the time to call and pray with us during sickness and the loss of love ones. You all are in our prayers. He will surely be missed!

Rev. Larry Brown and Sis. Sandra Brown,

Lives lived for God through faith in His Son and by the Power of His Holy Spirit.

"For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:12-13

God's Love & His Peace,
Sandra
OCBF & Fellowship Church Family

Greetings to the family of Rev. Larry Brown -

What a might man of God is Rev.  Larry Brown!  His quiet and consistent support for God's grace implemented at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship has meant so much to so many.   He was an amazing servant of our King and His people.  His consistency and heartfelt love for the flock was evident to all.  I am grateful to have been able to work with him, and observe of his genuine love for God and for  others.  But not just for others - for me, too!  He was consistently kind, thoughtful and full of words of encouragement.  When he spoke, His Spirit showed.  One outstanding memory I have is that, when he didn't see me at church, he sent a message to me through a friend to see how I was doing.  It surprised me that he would even be thinking of me, as busy as he was!  That meant the world to me.  He had that kind of uncommon grace.  Although I am saddened that I was not with you at his life celebration,  please allow me to extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to you for your loss.  His transition to Heaven is amazing for Him, but painful for you.  I will be praying for you - 

Dr. Karia

Thinking of you and your family.  Also remembering how kind and supportive you both were to the Hurd family  during the home going celebration for our son Michael in  July  2020.
Sincerely, Joe and Jacqueline 💕💕

Deaconess Brown my thoughts and prayers are with you and the Brown family during this difficult time. Words cannot express my heartfelt gratitude for the kindness you and Reverend Brown showed me during a difficult season being newlywed and no family and friends in a new city. I won’t forget the drive you and Reverend Brown made all the way from Desoto to North Tarrant County to welcome me and my blended family to Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. I’m back home in Houston now and came across a Facebook post from one of my former small group members, Ruth. May God now provide you with the same loving comfort and kindness you showed countless others.

Grace and Gratitude 🙏🏼,

I had the pleasure of working with Larry Brown during his Hewlett-Packard Field Sales Engineering career. Larry contributed to the early success of Hewlett Packard's Electronic Semiconductor Components Group. He and I were the first 2 Black Engineers to join the Midwest Sales Region. We worked together from the late 1970's through the late 1980's. I was impressed by Larry's positive attitude, work ethic, teamwork, and class. We earned the respect of our peers and HP Management as we pushed each other to perform at highest level. Those were very good days and Larry Brown was a mighty good man! 
Rest In Heaven My Friend!!

I met Rev Brown via the Comfort and Care Ministry. What I know is that he loved the Lord and spoke highly unto Him,  and that sharing and caring for others was an amazing attribute of his. He will definitely be missed.  Sister Brown and family,  you continue to hold unto God unchanging hand and keeping the faith. 
Much love, 
Dr. Gwendolyn Keller-member of Comfort and Care Ministry.❤🙌🏽🙏🏼

Sister Sandra,
I express my deepest condolences to you and your family. What a blessing Reverend Brown and you have been to me! It’s not the many hours that we spent together, but the brief special moments that we have shared. The texts that I sent to encourage Reverend Brown came back with a text from him, speaking blessings to me and my family. He never made it just about him; regardless of his situation. Reverend Brown will truly be missed. You two were always the light shining so bright. Reverend Brown gentle, caring and humble spirit; and you saying “I love you” brought joy to my heart. 
May you always know that you too are loved. ❤️ May you receive the love back that you have freely given, today and always.  ❤️

Colleague 

To Sandra and the entire Brown family you have my deepest condolences in the loss of your precious loved one husband father and true friend Brother Larry! 

Words can hardly express what a Godly man he was in this lifetime! So loving kind funny always putting others before himself! His smile was so infectious 🤗

What a joy he was to serve with in the OCBF Comfort & Care Ministry. He always knew when to speak, when to be silent and pray. He was an amazing man of great encouragement to so many hurting souls. He loved God's people!

The last time I spoke with him he was praying for my son-in-law Sergio who is currently battling with cancer. He was still showing love and concern even in his own battle! That's a real man of God who was always walking in his calling!!

Truly he was chosen by God to be a leader and he served him well.

The memories are endless I will cherish them forever. 

There's a beautiful comforting song based on the word of God that says......
"I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. Plans to prosper you, plans never to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.  These are the plans I have for you." Jeremiah 29:11

In your moments of loneliness, sadness
and discouragement please remember the words of this  song based on Matthew 6:25-27 "His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me!" God is with you!
You are never alone!

May the Lord bless you & keep you. May his face shine upon you & give you peace now & forevermore! 

Know that you are loved and God loves you best!! ❤❤🙏

Deborah McCampbell (Charles) & Family

To the Brown Family: Grieving the loss of a loved one is a natural and necessary process that takes time. With death can come pain and heartache. We do not grieve like the rest of mankind who have no hope. Our grief is made more bearable because the Holy Spirit, our comforter, is with us; and we look forward to being reunited with our loved one. This life is not all there is. The Apostle Paul tells us about a place where there will be no more death, mourning, crying or pain; death has been swallowed up in victory. Farewell, your Silver Star friend.
 Essis Ruth Abram Mosley.

May God continue to shower you and your family with His grace, mercy and comfort. Brother Brown was a testimony of encouragement when I initially began my chemo treatments for stage 4 Kidney Disease.  On the day of my procedure Rev. Brown arrived at the hospital before me. I actually saw him before checking in during registration. He was indeed a comfort for me. I can only but pray and believe that Heaven is rejoicing. I thank the Lord for having the honor to have met such a God filled servant of the Lord. Peace to all

Sandra, my heart aches for you and your family during this time of loss.  Your Husband/father’s life was a true blessing, and his memory will forever be a source of inspiration.

Dearest Sister/ Mother Brown, words really can't express my condolences for your loss. Our memory of Reverend Brown as a church family will forever be our keepsake, with which we'll never part.
Father-God has him in His keeping, and we will forever have him in our hearts 💕 
Love you dearly,
Yolanda Woolen 💓

The Brown Family you have our deepest sympathy and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Forever in our hearts Rev. Larry will always be. The memories are tucked away. We love you  Sis. Sandra and Brown Family❤️❤️

Sister Sandra Brown and family,
You all are in my thoughts and prayers.  Rev. Brown will be missed.  He always demonstrated his love for God and others in his actions. He ran a good race and finished well. Hold on to every precious memory.  This is not goodbye, but see you later.   God Bless.

Sandy and Family,

Our deepest sympathy is extended to you on the passing of Rev.  Larry Brown.   We are so sorry for your lost.  Larry was once a member of the East Mount Zion Baptist Church in Cleveland Ohio and served as an Associate Minister and member of the Brotherhood Men’s group of our church, before relocating to Texas.  Hang on to the fond memories that you have of him.  He was a fine man and a great servant leader.  

God be with you all.

To my Sister in Christ/ Mentor/Encourager…My condolences go to you and your family during this sorrowful time.  My prayer is that God will give each of you peace and comfort because we know that “Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal”.  Isaiah 35:10.  We have indeed lost a Kingdom man that was kindhearted, considerate, trustworthy, loving, and most of all faithful until the end.  He will be missed most definitely at OCBF.  Please continue his legacy my friend.  Love you all much. 🌷

Yours In Christ,
Sis. Pam McGarity

To the Brown family, you all have my deepest condolences, and my prayers for you during this time is for comfort and understanding.

… remembering how kind and helpful Reverend Larry was to me and my family in preparing for the Home going celebration for my husband Ray in February of this year. 
Sincerely, Pat Jones

Sandra, Kim, Kylan and to all that loved him. I have never been in his presence a time and he wasn't smiling. I will always remember his wonderful soul. Earth has no sorrow, heaven cannot heal. I love you guys. Stay strong.  He loved the Lord.

Hi Sandra, I wanted to give my sincerest condolences  to you and your family.

I remember when your husband came out to pray for me when I first joined LOL. He was one of the nicest men I had ever had the pleasure of meeting. I couldn't believe he arrived at the hospital before my husband and I did.

I pray that you receive peace from our Savior and Lord.

You were an encouraging source for many years through many struggles!  Because of your kind spirit I’ve always been able to share my deepest concerns with you.  I’ve grown personally and spiritually!  💕💕

Your cousin,

Janice

Our sincere condolences are extended to the family and friends of Reverend Brown.  He was loved by the Silver Stars of OCBF.

Condolences to the family. Larry was a man of conviction. He lived his life with confidence because of this conviction. 

Hang on to the memories of a great warrior.

I am so thankful for the time shared learning God's Word, sharing in the blessed union of marriage between Larry and Sandy, fellowship with the family and that sense of humor; his infectious smile. God's continued comfort to all of you. Praise God we know he is resting with God and we know we will see him again. God healed him for all eternity.  
Love, Ros Stovall 🌹❤

Prayers to the Brown family. Growing up together with my cousin (Bobo) will never be forgotten. God has an angel.

The Brown/ Curtain families lost a giant on Monday, but heaven gained a gem!!!! Our dear  Brother in Love is now resting with our Lord and Savior.  l will never forget our last visit with him and the family in Dallas when his health was failing.  The Cleveland family wanted to encourage him… but he quickly turned that around from his hospital bed and focused on witnessing about the goodness of God and encouraging us like never before.  That was Larry Brown.  We will miss him terribly for all that he gave to us and the life he exemplified before us.  We are praying earnestly for the loves of his life:  Sandra, Joel, Kim, Rob, Kyllan, William, Drew, Ari, Laurel and Elliott. Rest on my brother… 
You fought the good fight, and finished the race‭‭ 2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭
Love you all,

To My Spiritual Family (The Brown's)
 Daddy Larry's encouragement, talks & prayers have help shape me into the woman of God that I am now. I am so grateful for the love and laughter we were able to share.   Mommy Sandra you have been an excellent example of a Proverbs 31 woman.  To God Be The Glory for giving you strength, love & tenacity to give A1 care to your husband.  Dad definitely exemplified the love of Christ. He will be missed but we must live our lives in a way that is pleasing unto God so that we can all meet him in Heaven. Dad fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith & now has a crown laid up just for him.  Much love!

King Cousin Larry was a kind and loving vessel of Christian humanness.  His love and unwavering faith has been and always will be a true testament to his love of God, family, and humankind!!  I will miss his profound prayers he has prayed for me and my family!!   Larry is now an Ancestor whose spirit will live forever!!  Blessings to his Queen Sandra and family!  She has truly been a Warrior Queen!!  Her love and attention goes far beyond expectation as she honored her vows to her husband!  All the best! Ase Ase Aseoo and so it is.
