He united with the Oakley Full Gospel Baptist Church, in his later years where he continued to nurture his relationship with God and his church family. Like the biblical David, he was a man after God’s own heart with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge about God. You could often find Donald reading multiple theological books simultaneously, writing questions or engaging in conversations with family and friends about the nature of Christ and how to grow closer to God. Brother Brown earned his degree from the Columbus Technical Institute and worked for 33 years as an Electrician with General Motors before his retirement. A lifelong learner, he accumulated certificates in real estate, entrepreneurship and investing. Brother Brown proudly served his country as a member of the United States Marine Corps. A lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, he will be anticipating their winning season from heaven. He leaves to cherish his memory his faithful wife of 41 years Deborah Brown, Daughters Deidra Reese and Asa Brown, Sisters Eugenia Brown- Caldwell (Alvin) and Louise Drinkard, Sister-in-law Beverly Osler Brown and Brother Joe Brown, Nieces Pamela Brown and Keisha Moorehead, Nephews Kevin Cook, Elvis Brown, William Wilson, Andre Brown, and Kurtiss Brown (Shawanna Terrell), and a host of other relatives and friends including special friends Charles Alston and Robert Miller, Jr. Despite his failing health, his faith in God remained strong and he lived every day with anticipation and expectation. He loved and was loved fully by his family and friends.
