March 19, 1973 – February 28, 2017
With great sorrow, the family of Jody Brown announces his sudden passing. He left us at the age of 43. He will be lovingly remembered by his mother Sharon (Jan), his brother Justin and his many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. His spirit will live on through his beautiful daughters, Devyn and Addison and their mother, Trista. He was predeceased by his father Ross, his grandma and grandpa Brown and Stovin.
Jody was born in Oxbow, SK and raised in Pine Falls. He spent his childhood surrounded by family and friends. He enjoyed the boat and just loved being on the open water. After high school, Jody worked at the Pine Falls Papermill. He was passionate about hockey, football and fishing. He played for many years with the Pineview Saints. His love for hockey led him to the Junior Bs playing with the Beausejour Comets. He also enjoyed football Sundays with his pals. Another passion of Jody’s was music. He spent countless hours listening to the tunes of Dave Matthews, Burton Cummings and many more.
But his greatest passion of all was his children. Jody was very proud of his girls and spent their early years taking them for walks, bringing them for “slushies” and visiting his friends. On family trips, he would spend hours with them at the pool. He loved watching movies and loading up on snacks. His daughters were his most valued treasure.
A celebration of his life will be held at the Notre Dame du Laus Catholic Church in Powerview, MB on Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 1:00 pm. Lunch will be served following the service. Interment will be arranged at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, PO Box 1118, Beausejour, MB R0E 0C0.
Until we meet again, “Downtown”

My heart breaks for the loss of an amazing cousin. Jody was always one of my favorite people who I looked forward spending time with during vacations to Pine Falls and when his family would come to Alberta. His devilish smile and dry sense of humor will always be a memory I can cherish. He will be forever remembered by me as a caring, and loving soul who always made sure to have a good time and make fun memories. My love to his family and I send condolences during this painful time.

Sharon, Justin, what can Ernie and i say that would help at a time like this. Sharon hold on to the wonderful memories you have of him. I remember when you lived in Powerview and i babysat, he was so full of mischief and unbounding energy. God gave him to you for a short time, and called him home. We are thinking of you both, at this time, and sending prayers, that you may find some peace. May God keep you both close to him. Sending our love from Saskatchewan.
