Michael ‘Mike’ Willis Brown, 63, of Greenbrier, TN passed away peacefully Friday, March 4, 2022 at his home with his loving wife by his side.
Mike was born on October 19, 1958 in Nashville to the late Woodrow Wilson Brown and John Anna Floyd Brown.
Mike was a devoted husband, father, brother, and son. He enjoyed working on many projects on the house and there was nothing he could not fix. He spent most of his free time on his tractor working their property. He loved a good deal and would haggle until he got the deal he wanted. He had a love for cars, working hard, and cutting up with his grandchildren. He spent many fun days on his boat at the lake with friends and family. He had a long and successful career in Telecommunications and will always be known for his hard work and dedication. Mike was a member of Rock Springs Baptist Church and appreciated all the support from his church family and friends during his 5-year battle with cancer. The last few years were a difficult fight but he persevered to the end much like he did in other areas of his life.
He is survived by his wife Laura Baggett Brown, son Nick (Amy) Brown of Murfreesboro, daughter Kayla (Landon) Clark of Knoxville, son Jacob Brown of Miami, and six grandchildren- Austin, Hailey, and Aubrey Brown & Jace, Lila, and Lainey Clark. He is also survived by his mother Johnnie Brown, sister Lisa Brown of Goodlettsville, and Teresa (Steve) Shrum of Murfreesboro.
