“In commemorating my father, Jess A. Brown, I remember our shared bond for old music and 80s movies, which created unbreakable memories that I cannot wait to share with my future kids. His infectious laughter and thoughtful gestures made him beloved by all!

My dad was present and hard-working. I hold my dad in a special place in my heart for all the remarkable values he taught my sisters and I. Withal, his passing taught me about perseverance and how to cope with grief, and it gave me a profound appreciation for the sacrifices and things military parents do for their families.”
