Ronald Earl Brown

Ronald Earl Brown, 75, died peacefully surrounded by loved ones at his home just one week after being diagnosed with cancer. He was a talented musician who played guitar, banjo, steel guitar and sang in bands (Gold Rush) throughout eastern North Carolina.  He loved the old hymns and old country music. He served our country in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany.  He worked 30 years at Parker Hannifin Corp, Wake Forest, NC.  He loved the simple things in life and one of his favorite sayings was “the blessing is in the giving.”  He is survived by his loving partner of 10 years, Diane Gott, his daughter, Lyn Hammonds (husband, James), sister, Wanda Flowers (husband Doug), nephew Jerry Flowers, (wife, Ashley), niece Courtney Brockbrader (husband Billy).  Family and friends are invited to gather for a Celebration of Life service on Saturday, March 9, at Noon located at Ebenezer Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 6020 Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh, NC 27610. Those wishing may express condolences directly to Mrs. WANDA FLOWERS; address is  201 Queen Rd, Hubert NC 28539.
