OBITUARY
Hart Frank Atkinson Brown
February 1, 1944 – January 20, 2019
Hart Brown, deeply beloved partner, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully at home on January 20th, 2019. He was 74 years young.
Hart was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to the late Mannifrank and Edythe Brown of Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba.
He resided in Winnipeg with his longtime partner Judith Harper and raised his children here. Hart leaves behind his two sons, Rhodes Brown (wife Laura) of Victoria, B.C., and Noel Brown {wife Ashley) of Winnipeg, Manitoba; and daughter Mya Brown of Vancouver, British Columbia. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Callum, Noah and Hudson; and his sister Robin Whetter (husband David) of Vancouver, British Columbia. All are deeply saddened by his passing.
Growing up in Lac du Bonnet, he developed a deep appreciation for the simple things in life. That orientation comprised the epicenter of his value system, one in which he consistently put family and friends ahead of material things. As a young man, Hart worked from coast to coast in the mining industry. Once settled in Winnipeg, he attended the University of Manitoba earning a degree in education and subsequently worked as a junior high school teacher. Hart loved to work with his hands and on leaving teaching worked in property management until 1997 when he again returned to teaching until 2013.
He was passionate about life and enjoyed sailing, fishing, skiing, home renovations and great times with Judith, his children and friends. He particularly enjoyed being on the water and time spent in his home town. Hart is known by his family and friends as a man who was extremely intelligent, a great conversationalist whose wit kept one on their toes, and mostly as someone who knew how to live to the fullest. He lived a fulfilled life and will remain always in our memories. We will miss him greatly.
A celebration of his life will be held at 10:00 am, January 25, 2019 at Thomson” In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.
As an expression of sympathy and in recognition of Hart’s devotion to his hometown, charitable donations may be made to the Lac du Bonnet and District Museum, Box 47 Lac du Bonnet, Mb. R0A 1A0. Cheques should be payable to Lac du Bonnet and District Museum.
