Nicholas John Brown

Nicholas J Brown (35) of Oak Harbor, WA passed away on January 18, 2017. Born to Samuel and June Brown of Oak Dale, MN in April of 1981. Nicholas enjoyed playing baseball in little league as a kid in Oak Dale. At the age of 19 he joined the United States Navy to travel the world. During his 16 years in the Navy Nick served in Iraqi Freedom, Korean Defense and The Libyan Conflict. He wasn't a man of many words, he was quiet and reserved yet passionate in his work and family life. He was a loving Daddy to all three of his kids and nicknamed each one appropriately for instances Sofia (Monkey) Logan (little Dude) Jericho (Goober). Nick enjoyed many things in his free time to include fishing, restoring his classic LUV, and playing with his Children. His was the most authentic example of a Daddy’s love, great patience and willingness to rough house it was Awe inspiring. The summers included Family walks and playing on the slip and slide. He was a great provider and level headed. I could go on and on but we don't have a book to write. Nicholas is preceded in death by his Father Samuel, and Step Dad Ronald. The reunion between him and his fathers must be an amazing story and I can't wait to hear it one day in the far future. He leaves behind his loving Wife Christine, their Daughter Sofia, Sons Logan and Jericho; Mother June Beitel; Brother Matthew; Sister Christine; many family members and friends. This is see you later and not goodbye! Arrangements under the direction of Burley Funeral Chapel, Oak Harbor, WA.
