Jeremy A. Brown Obituary

To the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Jeremy A. Brown:
It has truly been my honor to sign Jeremy's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Jeremy will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

Wow, thank you for sharing. (His cousin)

I was there when we put Jeremy on the medivac. I often wonder if there is something more I could have done to make a difference in the outcome. I will NEVER forget coming into the gate that night and being told he had died. I w there after the rollover holding him as he talked about his son.

Can't believe 7 years have passed since the world lost Jeremy. I hope and pray that his son, Seth, has been told of his father's legacy and what a good man he was. I know that Jeremy's life was meaningful, and he gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country.

I'm one of Jeremy's aunts, which loved him very much, and miss him dearly. But I also thank him everyday for the Ultimate Sacrifice he gave for his family and county. Jeremy always believed in what he was doing. He took care of his men, even when he was dieing. He always thought of others first.

In our hearts and minds he shall never be forgotten, and all that have served and serving still. In loving memory.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Jeremy, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Staff Sgt Brown!

I went to elementary school with Jeremy, it's funny how even after all of those years I still remember this little fella with a big heart, big brown eyes with an endearing fluttering blink, and always a big smile. I am proud to say that I know this couragous, inspiring man.

Jeremy has made a mark on this world. This guest book shows as far north as New York and Indiana, as far west as Colorado, and as south as Texas and Puerto Rico, Jeremy touched lives. Not bad for guy from Mabscott, WV.

May your hearts swell with love, hope, courage and certainly PRIDE for your Jeremy.

I am honored to have known Jeremy and I know that this world is a much better place for my children because of the courage and leadership of this great man. Thank you Jeremy and Brown Family
God Bless!!!!!

God bless you, I'm very sorry for your lost Jeremy. I always remember you.

My heart goes out to you. I am a lucky Mom. I have just heard that my son, a gunner in a humvee, survived when the vehicle flipped and rolled. He had to have had a guardian angel with him that night.
I am so proud of all our young men and I hope the people of America realize the sacrifice that comes with our freedom. May God bless you and your family and give you strength until you can once again be reunited with Jeremy.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Staff Sgt Brown and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

Jeremy had a great sense of humor and was very loveable. He always had a hug for everyone and he would tell stories that would keep you laughing for hours.

He has a son Seth that he loved very much and would have done anything for him. We all miss him very much.

Love Mom

I am one of Jeremy's cousins. Our family suffered a great loss when we lost Jeremy. We are a close knit family and it still doesn't seem real to me that he is not going to walk in the door at Christmas or Thanksgiving with his precious son in his arms. Seth and my son are a year apart and when he is visting they usually get together and play. It is impossible to look at that little boy and not think of Jeremy.

Jeremy was the definition of a "hero". He will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories continue to bring you comfort. I wish I could have said this sooner. Jeremy and I were stationed together with the 313th MIBN, 82d ABN DIV. We were able to mentor one another and became good friends. It was hard to see him leave and has been even harder to see that he is gone. He will remain in my thoughts...always.

SSG Brown will never be forgotten. I was in 66th MI with SSG Brown. He was a great person to be around and kept everyone's spirits up! I am sorry to the family for the loss and hope that time is healing your pain. God Bless!

To The Family Of Staff Sgt. Jeremy a. Brown,



My condolences and thanks to Staff Sgt. Jeremy a. Brown, and his family, for the ultimate sacrifice given by this courageous young man.



I am sure Staff Sgt. Brown knew what was at risk, and equally sure what he was risking her life for.



Words cannot express the sorrow, appreciation and thanks I have for the courage of a man that has helped preserve this nation created and blessed by God, and also enriched the lives of many peoples abroad.





Many Thanks, and May God Bless You All!

May God watch over you at this time and be with you always.

I will always remember SSG Brown from Iraq. My first big deployment and it wasn't until I met him did I actually calm down from everything going on there. The first time we spoke he assured me everything would be ok and gave me the confidence to go out and come back safe. My deepest apologies go out to the entire Brown family. The only thing that brings me comfort in the knowing he is with GOD now.



SGT Cameron M. Russell

Jeremy was a truly amazing person, SSGT, friend, father, son, brother, husband. I am Jeremy's cousin and remember rolling down hills with the overly skinny kid when we were small. He grew up and became the spitting image of his highly honored and honorable father. They would do anything for anyone and always had some hilarious off the wall story or joke to tell that would brighten anyones day.



My point is: he lived his life serving other people. Every one of his men have nothing but extremely funny and fond memories of him.



Jeremy is a "true hero" because he did the things he knew were right no matter what it cost him or where it took him. As long as it could make someone else happy or safe, his happiness or comfort was not a factor.



I am extremely elated to know that he left this troublesome world and entered into Heaven and continues to make an impact on everyone that knew him. If anything we should all look to him as an example of how we should live our lives.

SSG Brown was my platoon sgt in Iraq (1st tour). He was not only a platoon sgt, but someone who sincerely cared and was concerned about each and every soldiers needs. He was always encouraging and willing to do whatever it takes to make the next person happy. He will be deeply missed but I know that he would want us to move on and live life to the fullest. Everything happens for a reason. My prayers go out to the Brown family. God Bless you all.

I met Jeremy on a couple of occasions, spent several days with him. The loss of Jeremy was like losing a son, this speaks of how a fine young man Jeremy was. My family and I will miss Jeremy very much. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rosey, Seth and all those who knew and loved Jeremy as we did. As a former Marine I salute Staff Sgt. Jeremy A Brown, a fallen "Hero" who gave the Ultimate Sacrifice.

I was Jeremy's 1SG when he was in the 101st Airborne Division. When you watch young leaders in action it is easy to pick out the great ones from the rest of the pack. In Mosul, Jeremy caught my attention immediately. Calm, confident, and skilled, his soldiers would follow him anywhere. He quickly became one of my "go to guys". Those are the ones you go to if you need something done fast and not have to worry if they will do it right or not. I am proud of this hero. Proud of the strength he brought to his Nation, his Army, and his family. And I am thankful to have known and served with such a fine NCO. Sarge, I will always remember you. It is because of you that I will always have a fond place in my heart for all "Romeos"!

Staff Sgt. Jeremy A. Brown. A man of meny levels and talents. For thoes who knew him, he was a good man and a great friend. For thoes who served with him, he was an outstanding leader and mentor and solider. For thoes who loved him, he was kind and generous, loving and compassionate. He loved his son, he loved his wife, and he loved his soliders. I give all my prayers to his entire family. Know that he went above and beyond the call of a United States Solider. The world is an emptier place now, but heaven surely has recieved him.



We love and miss him much.

God bless you Jeremy.

I was privileged to know Jeremy as several things. I knew the father who loved his son, the sergeant who served his country with honor and made sure his soldiers needs were put ahead of his time and time again, the husband who’s love for his wife transcended the distance they were forced to endure for the entirety of there marriage, and most importantly to me, the friend who was there for anything. Jeremy was a person who enriched the lives of all those he knew beyond description. His loss will be keenly felt by all, and this world is a lesser place due to his passing. To his family I offer my deepest condolences and well wishes. To his son Seth, I hope you will grow up hearing the tales of how your father made this world a better place by his deeds and sacrifice.

I watched Seth for a few weeks in 2004. Seth would run full force and barrel right into Jeremy's arms at the end of the work day. That little boy had a wonderful daddy who loved him so much. I pray that everyone will pitch in to keep his memory alive so that Seth will grow up and know all about Jeremy, and how his daddy is a true fallen hero. God Bless all who knew and loved Jeremy. We will all see him again one day. Special prayers for Rosey, The Mother who has suffered a great loss, and Jeremy's three brothers. God be with you all.

I served with Jeremy in Iraq with D Co. 311th MI BN, 101st ABN DIV in Mosul. We spent a lot of time telling stories and just hanging out. He was a good soldier and a great friend. His loss is tragic and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. SSG Robert A Stone

Although i didn't know Jeremy well, i know his wife, my cousin. what i do know is that he made her happy. Jeremy will always be a hero and will always be remembered.

The Ultimate Sacrifice, another Fallen Hero. To his family, we,as

Americans share your grief and mourn your loss. Please know that this AMERICAN, is profoundly grateful to Jeremy for preserving our Freedom. May God Bless Jeremy, his bereaved family and GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Sincere deepest condolences are extended to the family of another fallen hero from two very grateful Americans.

My cousin, Rosemary, married Jeremy just last year and while I didn't know him for a very long time, he seemed like such a nice person who loved my cousin very much and for that I am grateful.



I am exceedingly grateful for the ultimate sacrifice he made for me and my family.

God bless you and you are all in my prayers.

SSG Brown was my first line leader at Ft. Campbell, KY. Him and I worked in the G2 OPS section for about 6 months. When I think of SSG Brown I remember an NCO that would complete any task that was given to the best of his ability, no questions asked. I am sorry for your loss but I know that we will all see him again one day, in Heaven.

God Bless the entire Brown Family

My prayers and thoughts go out to the family and friends of SSG Brown. May God Be with them in this time of Loss.

I am very sorry for your loss. I didn't know him well but he was a great guy to hang out with in Iraq the first time. He will never be forgotten.

Rosemary I am deeply sorry for your loss.

i respect and grieve your loss.thank you so much for enduring the unbelievable pain of losing your

loved one to protect us from same cruel fate. it is what it is andtime cannot be turned back thank your son in your prayers for me also i do not pray but hopethat if you do you will for me also
