He was the deputy sheriff for our auctions, and always did a super job.  I am so glad he worked the auctions. He was dedicated and always kept everything well under control.  Everyone at the Commissioner's Office will greatly miss him.

David and I were friends at Butler High School together.  Whenever I ran into him socially, we always chatted about people we knew in common.  In later years, I would see him at O. D. White's when I would attend a viewing of someone who had passed.  And when I saw him, each time, he had that big smile and big friend hug to offer.  He is now smiling down on his family from heaven and my thoughts are for God's grace to shine a peaceful calm upon those left behind. David was truly a shining light.

Laura, Ryan and Nicole, sorry to hear about David.  Ed and I send our condolences to you and the family.  Betty and Ed Moore

I am at a loss of words. Such horrible news to hear. We truly lost a greeat man who always seemed to smile and was always willing to lend a helping hand. I only wish I could have gotten to see my friend one more time and have one of our chats.

To a Wonderful Friend whom I shall never forget. Hey Dave look Tim Up and tell him hello for me. I know Heaven will never be the same with you two there.Rest in peace my friend you were truly loved by all

Words can not express how sad I was when I got the call that David had pass. He will be missed by many but never forgotten. Rest in peace my friend.

R.I.P. Dave! When my wife and I married 20 years ago this coming October I asked a friend if he knew anyone that could get a limo for our wedding, he said he knew someone who worked at a funeral home who could get limos. Never forget the day we got married and the limo pulled up it was Dave Brown driving it. We had never met before then and would have never thought that many years later we would become co-workers at JCSO. Dave worked all the time, but now its his time to take a rest. Look forward to seeing you again someday, but until then God Speed my friend!

I had known Dave since November 1994, worked a lot of hours with him in the courts.Like the news paper said.....Dave ALWAYS had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. He was a good hearted and a VERY fair person. Rest in peace

I will remember Dave Brown & his wonderful personality. He was always helping people. It was a real pleasure
to work with him thru the years. His spirit will return to GOD who gave it.
In the darkest hours & days ahead have faith in GOD.

My sincere & deepist sympathy to the family of Dave Brown. Dave was a co-worker & friend at JCSO in the HOJ. Dave was always kind & professional even when he was enforcing the law. One evening after our shift several deputies, two of which were female, 
were walking to their cars, Dave said,
"I feel like a thorn between 2 roses."

I only met you a few times...I worked for the funeral homes...worked with Laura, met your children, Prayers going up for all of you during this difficult time

i worked with dave for 15 years at the Hall of Justice. he was a wonderful person and will be deeply missed. may god bless the family in this time of sorrow. sarah s.

I have been David's friend for several years. We worked together in the funeral industry and often talked about law enforcement. I saw David about two weeks ago at the Thornton's at Floyd and Broadway where he was working. I had been working at the Kentucky Speedway and had just got off. We bumped into each other and talked about the many benefits of working law enforcement. He seemed very happy and I will always remember that last conversation with him. He was a good friend to me and I will miss him. Rest in Peace my friend. James Southern

There was no stranger that downtown Dave Brown met. He treatedly everyone fairly and always have a person their chance to talk. The excitement when he saw me ., as well as others always made me smile. But that was his thing to always bring a "smile" to everyone! He never judged anyone. And was always there to talk. What a great man/ friend /confident God has brought to be a angel! And all of us that know him, we always need a angel ESP. Him. Lots of love. Xoxo.

I had the opportunity to meet David Brown over 20 yrs ago, when I worked with him at O.D. White's Funeral home, our paths both took us to the Law Enforcement field, David becoming a Deputy and myself becoming a special Peace Officer and 911 dispatcher for Louisville Metro, David always had a kind word to say and always had a smile on his face, May you rest in peace my brother for your tour of duty has ended, God bless you and the family. Davis Martin

GOD BLESS YOU, Rest in Peace My Friend. My prayers are with the family also, God Bless you all. George Burney President of Pride Inc.

I worked with David for years while I was in District Court.   He was thoughtful, courteous to all, and a fine man.  I considered him a friend.

From the tall skinny classmate to the caring compassionate man you became, memories are all dear, fun and everlasting.  Selling candy, singing Secret Agent Man, great conversation... you will be remembered by many.  
Deepest sympathy to your family.  We will laugh together again my dear friend.

Rest in Peace.  May the Lord take you in his arms.  Once a Bear always a Bear. '74

Nicole, Ryan and Laura, you are in my thoughts and prayers! David was one of the really nice guys and will be missed tremendously. Rest in peace, David.

May you rest in peace and your family know you are forever watching over them.  You are their angel now and I hope that will bring some comfort.  I always appreciated seeing your smiling face at the courthouse.  You will truly be missed.  I have so many good memories from my growing up years at your house.  Nicole and Ryan will be in my prayers as will the rest of your family.  Rest in peace, Gone too Soon.

I only knew Deputy Brown since 2005. It was all the errand runs to the courthouse for my law firm, that Deputy Brown always spoke to me wherever I saw him at the courthouse. He was awesome! I am deeply sad for his  family. He will be missed by so many, many people I know for a fact. May God Bless the Brown family through this unexpected sudden loss.

I'm so happy for you to be in Gods Glory, Dave. I'm sorry for all of us, especially your loved ones, who have to cope with this transition. Thank you for your service. Thank you for the encouragement, kindness and compassion you gave everyone. I trust I will see you again some day. Jennifer Gehlhausen JCSO
