James Edward Brown, 51, of Houston, Texas passed away Friday May 18th, 2012. He was born on Christmas eve 1960 to the late Clarence Brown Sr. and Elizabeth Ann Brown. James was a beloved husband, father, friend and neighbor.

James spend over 20 years working for Central Freight Lines as a humble truck driver. While working at Central he met the love of his life Deanna. After many years of loyal service to Central he was injured and thus began his long struggle with back and neck surgeries. He never let that slow him down though.

In 1999 James and Deanna were married and had a son, Levi. He had his first surgery and spent most of his healing time caring for his newborn child. His injury only brought him closer to his family and allowed him to be a devoted father and husband.

James enjoyed hunting, fishing, and all things mechanical. He especially enjoyed sharing his wealth of knowledge with his son. He loved working on cars and even just spending time with outside with the neighbors. Any person that had the privilege of being his neighbor knew of his giving spirit and thoughtful nature.

James will be missed very much by his family and friends. He is survived by his wife, Deanna Brown, son, Levi Brown, daughter, Melinda Hales, sister, Rose Ford, three brothers, Andrew Brown, Clarence Brown Jr. and Richard Brown and additional relatives and extended family.
