Jimmie Brown, Jr.

Jimmie Brown, Jr. was born on February 19, 1937, in Mississippi, the son of Jim Brown, Sr. and Moudie Quinn. He received his education in the public school system. Jimmie was united in marriage to Lucy Ann Moore on August 16, 1963. Two sons were born from their union, Kendrick and Samuel. Although he often said he was a "jack of all trades, but master of none," friends and family saw him as a master of many trades, especially carpentry. He worked as a carpenter for the Chicago Housing Authority for many years before retiring in 2001. In 2010, Lucy Ann and Jimmie officially moved to Denver, Colorado to help care for family. Jimmie confessed Christ at an early age and was an active member in church as a young adult. In 2013, he renewed his relationship with God and would say, "I had a conversation with God…" We all will remember him for his charming personality and his love for holding conversations. Jimmie would engage anyone, anywhere in a conversation. He was preceded in death by his father, mother and stepparents; brother, M.L.; and sister, Delores. Jimmie was called home on Thursday, August 21, 2014, in Denver, Colorado. He leaves to cherish fond memories his loving and caring wife, Lucy Ann; 3 sons: Donnie Dumas of Indiana, Kendrick (Holly) and Samuel (Jilliean) of Denver, Colorado; 4 daughters: Cheryl Denise (Frank) Brooks of Denver, Colorado, Niecy Moore of Chicago, Illinois, Carol and Victoria Brown of Alabama; 3 brothers: Robert "Leo" (Josephine) Singleton, Wilbert "Billie" Singleton, and Melton (Debra) Calloway; 6 sisters: Mildred Brown, Jean Sofford, Lula (Tommie) Smith, Gloria Lewis, Corrine Brown and Shirley "Ann" (Aaron) Singleton; and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family and friends.
