Livonia: Tom passed peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, on August 18, 2018 at age 60. Predeceased by his parents Thomas Sr. & Charlotte (Cooke) Brown and his nephew Greg Harrison. Survived by his loving wife, of 38 years, Linda Brown and sons; Matthew (Jani) Brown of Monterey, CA and Ian (Amanda) Brown of Fort Drum, NY; siblings, Kathy (Ogden) Price of OH, Debbie (Mark) Harrison of Rochester, and Joe (Danita) Brown of SC.
Tom loved life. He loved his family, his church, and his hobbies. His passions in life included riding his motorcycle, reading spy novels and boating with friends. The next marathon was never far away, the next concert was always on the calendar, but family vacations were always a priority. Whether it was home improvements or car repair he got the greatest satisfaction from doing it himself. He was never far from scouting or the golf course. He loved all things Army and Navy equally. Tom was an amazing husband, father, sibling and friend.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, August 25, 2018 at 10am at the United Methodist Church of Hemlock, 4616 Main Street, Hemlock, NY 14466. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made in Tom’s Memory to the United Methodist Church of Hemlock at the address above.

What an amazing celebration of Tom’s life today. I was fortunate to have worked with Tom at Bosch, and wish I had known him better and for more years. I hope his close family and friends take solace in knowing his pain is over and that he clearly left this earth a better place than he found it.
He was such a strong and amazing man. It was a privilege to have known him! His love for the lord taught me much more grace, humility, and praise. The strong bond and love between Linda an him is a dream very couple should have!! It was a blessing for me to have known him! The pride he had of Matt and Ian radiated each time you were mentioned! We have lost one of God’s best creations. God bless you!
Deepest sympathies to Linda and family. Praying God provides peace in this time.
We are so very sorry to the Brown family.
I went to grammar school and High School with Tom. He was a truly great guy. He was such a pleasant human being and a very nice young man.This is very sad news. To the family, I am so sorry to hear this news. I wish you peace as you go through this difficult time. God Bless you all.
Tom is now singing praises in heaven. We were so glad when he returned to choir last June. This news hit hard. A gentle man. Great sense of humor. He loved to talk about his boys, his pride showed. He will be missed by so many. Godspeed Tom. Linda, Matt and Ian hold your memories close as you walk through this difficult time. God bless you all.
My deepest sympathies to Tom’s family. We worked together a few years ago. I always enjoyed playing music with him at the Livonia Inn. Peace to Tom’s family.
We are so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. We enjoyed singing with him in our choir. Our prayers are with you, Linda, your children and your extended family. Tim will be missed by many. God be eoth you.
