Marcus Liddon Brown was born March 3, 1938, and passed away on April 2, 2025. He was known to everyone as Don. He was preceded in death by his wife Betty (married for 40 years); his brothers Howard Brown, Bill Thomas, and Charlie Brown and sister Marie Patrick. He is survived by his sister Ada Addington (Fred); daughters Teresa Julian (Terry), Dot Walker (Jim, deceased), and Cathy Harris (Frank); and sons Marcus Brown Jr., Timmy Brown (Elaine) and John Morgan Jr. (Mary) and James Clifford Kelly (deceased); grandchildren Brian Kelley (Crystal), Caitlin Harris, Lee Preston, Amber Dawn Brown, and Kayla Garner; and great grandchildren Malachi Clemmons, Marcus Brown III, Alex and Carson Preston, and Connor, Cassie, and Collin Kelley.
He was the best dad---Pops, Daddy, Dad--, granddad--Paw Paw--, and great granddad.
Don spent most of his life as an auto mechanic---over 60 years. He could tell you most anything about a car needing repair. He knew most every car brand and year, and he especially loved cars of the 50's.
He loved Jackson Park Church of Christ where he was baptized. His greatest joy was greeting church members as they entered each Sunday with a smile, a handshake, a "high 5" or a salute.
Don was admired and loved by many and will be missed by those who knew him and were blessed to hear his life's stories.
A graveside service for Don will be held Monday, April 7, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Woodlawn Roesch Patton Funeral Home & Memorial Park, 660 Thompson Ln, Berry Hill, TN 37204. A Celebration of Life service will take place at a later date at Jackson Park Church of Christ.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Jackson Park Church of Christ, 4103 Gallatin Pike, Nashville, TN 37216.
