Duane Charles Brown, or “Brownie” as some knew him, passed with peace and grace Sunday morning May 17th, 2015 at the age of 83 at his home in Burien, WA. Duane was born in Ruby, Wisconsin to Victor Brown and Helen Adams. He was the middle child of 8 children - Deldee, Ruth, Gordon, Glenn, Duane, Ardyn, Korvin, and Bryce. His family moved from Wisconsin to Seattle when he was 8 years old.
"Brownie” graduated from Highline High School in 1949 and married Georgene Perry July 28th, 1951. He had a long career in management at The Boeing Company and retired in 1992. He spent his retirement years traveling the country with his wife, Georgene, in their motorhome. Duane was loved deeply by his wife of 64 years, and his 6 children – Mary, Margaret, Bob, Tom, Jan, and Sharon, 13 grandchildren and 6 great- grandchildren, along with a host of in-laws, nieces and nephews, and cousins.
Family and friends were especially important to Duane, and we invite all to his Celebration of Life on May 26th, 2015 at 1 pm at Saint Francis Catholic Church in Burien, WA. We will miss our dear father and beloved husband. May he be at peace.
