Heath Dean Brown
December 24, 1983 — September 19, 2020
Heath Dean Brown of rural Eureka, Kansas, son of Bobby “Bob” and Janice (Davis) Brown, left this troubled world September 19, 2020, at Ascension Via Christi St. Teresa, in Wichita, at the age of 36. Heath was born December 24, 1983 at Newman Hospital, Emporia, Kansas.
Heath attended and graduated from the Eureka, Kansas school system, Class of 2002. He enjoyed playing all sports as a child, but especially, cherished his memories of being a member of the Eureka Tornado football team. He was an avid K-State fan and could recount numerous details about the athletes who wore the purple during their KSU careers and their lives after graduation.
Heath also enjoyed following NASCAR racing, especially Clint Boyer’s career and was a fan of the KC Royals. He worked on the farm with his parents and had managed with pride a herd of cattle for Frank and Rita Bills of Severy. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Eureka and the Racing Wranglers 4-H Club. He enjoyed visiting and once he spent any time at all talking to you, you became a friend for life.
Heath is survived by his parents; sister, Abby and husband, Jeremy Nelson of Towanda, Kansas; paternal grandmother, Mary Martha Brown of Eureka; maternal grandmother, Dorothy L. Davis of Severy; three nephews, Jack Norris, Max John, and Lee Willis Nelson; extra family, Ruth and husband, Gary Yeubanks and family of Duncan, Oklahoma; and a host of extended family and friends, and especially Jameson Daniel Stewart, his little buddy.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Willis E. Brown, and maternal grandfather, John E. Davis.
Graveside services will be held at 2:00 P.M., Friday, September 25, 2020 at Greenwood Cemetery, in Eureka, with Mr. Judd Everitt officiating. Masks should be worn, and social distancing observed. Please feel free to bring a lawn chair. Visitation hours are from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M., Thursday, at the funeral home.
