It is with the deepest and most profound sadness, that we regretfully have to announce the passing of James Alvin Brown at the age of almost 83.
James was born to Josephine and Percy Brown on November the 23 rd, 1940. He was a premature birth, weighing in at a whopping (3 lbs. 6 oz.) and with his parents being Catholic, he had his last rites, spoke to him at birth. He was so resilient through life an given the adversity that would follow, James persevered. James married Ann Austwick in 1969 and started a family that grew to 3 by 1971 and when James was hired by Inco in 1974, the family was leaving Burks Falls, Ontario for Thompson, MB. The Browns’ ensconced themselves in life in the Nickel Belt and had at it. James went on to work for Inco for 31 years, before retiring in 2005. It was a brutal tragedy in October of 1986 that forever altered James’ life, when his 15 year old daughter Kerrie was murdered and subsequently discovered by 2 horseback riders, north of Thompson. He never got over the death of his little girl and obsessed about her final night and how alone and frightened Kerrie would have been, right up to his death. James always wanted to look them in the eye one day, but unfortunately, that day never arrived for him. He has all the answers now.
James was a die hard hockey fan and cheered religiously for the Detroit Red Wings. He also loved the CFL and was a lifelong Hamilton Tiger Cats Fan. Jim was kind and generous to those he met and enjoyed going uptown for a pint at ‘The Hub’ and chatting with friends.
James was predeceased by his parents Percy and Josephine, brothers Bill and Joe, his daughter Kerrie and his wife, Ann. He is survived by his sisters Ida and,Joyce as well as his sons Ian and Trevor.
As per James request, he has been cremated and will be spread next summer, along with Kerrie and Ann, back in Burks Falls.
You will forever be in our hearts and eternally missed brother. We look forward to seeing you on the other side.
Rest in Peace Jimmie;)
