Leonard Brown
On Oct. 2, 2008 the Lord gently took his child Leonard Alexander Brown (as he peacefully slept) home to be with him.
He was born on Aug. 22, 1943 in DeQuincy, the fifth child of nine born to Loyd and Beatrice Brown. At an early age, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at Mount Zion Baptist Church.
During his formative years, he attended DeQuincy Rosenwald Elementary School and Grand Avenue High School. In high school he excelled academically and was an exceptional trumpet player in the marching band. Leonard was also an outstanding athlete and participated in all sports. He will always be remembered for scoring four touchdowns in one game.
Upon graduation from high school, he attended Southern University in Baton Rouge, with a major in Political Science. His desire to be in the band was so compelling; he auditioned and was chosen to become a trumpeter in the elite “Southern University Marching 100 Band”.
Leonard loved music. He enjoyed listening to jazz, oldies but goodies, playing his trumpet and dancing.
He will be fondly be remembered as a loving, devoted, kind and caring husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
There was nothing more important to Leonard than spending time with family. However, the time with his adored grandchildren who affectionately referred to him as “Poppy” took priority. His nieces and nephews dearly loved him. He would tell them stories, play with them and play tricks on them. He always made them feel special and happy.
Leonard worked in various employments including: Los Angeles Police Department, McDonnell Douglas Aircraft, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and for the last 26 years at the United Stated Post Office.
Leonard was known for always having a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. The smile was like a magnet, it attracted people to him. No one could have had a more genuine friend than him. I know his smile lights up heaven more every day.
We thank God for giving Leonard to us and we will love him forever.
He is survived by his wife, Norma Jean; daughter, Coy (Kevin) Taylor ; sons, Kevin (Karen) Brown; Leonard Jr. (Angela) Brown; Tobias (Yesenia) Brown; brothers, Lawrence Brown; Abner (Genevieve) Brown; Joseph (Barbara) Brown; Ned (Mae) Johnson ; sisters, Lois (Raymond) Mims; Delores (Tommy) Viner; Jean (Willie) Hood; Shirley Burton; ten adorable grandchildren; an aunt, Albertha Brown; a host of nieces; nephews; cousins and friends.
Leonard was preceded in death by his parents, Loyd and Beatrice Brown, two brothers, Loyd (Sonny) Brown and Alvin Louis Brown; his eldest son Floyd Cravens Brown.
The celebration of Leonard’s life was at Holy Cross Risen Christ Chapel on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. interment was in the Mausoleum of Holy Cross Cemetery
in Culver City, Calif.
