Stephen was born on August 7, 1946, the son of Harry A. and Jennie F. (Baker) Brown. He attended Atchison Public School and later the Achievement Services of Northeast Kansas programs. Stephen was well-known to many locals, particularly on his adventures some years ago during his “downtown route” that he maintained for so many years. Several articles were written for the newspaper to recognize his love of Atchison and its residents. He had many interests including favorite programs and movies, listening to the local news on the radio, phoning all his friends and relatives, following the city action on his scanner, family get-togethers, church events, bowling with Special Olympics, as well as having various opportunities to travel with relatives and the Downing family. He will forever be remembered as someone who never met a stranger. His favorite thing was to visit with anyone and everyone with sincere interest and concern.
Stephen was preceded in death by his parents, Harry A. and Jennie F. (Baker) Brown, his eldest brother, Jerry A. Brown, and our dear family friend, Naomi V. Downing.
He is survived by his brother and sister, Donald Judson Brown, of Atchison and Kathleen Brown Davis of St. Louis, MO. Nephew and nieces include Jay Benedict Brown of CO, Judson Matthew Brown of Topeka, KS, Delana Brown (Richard) Burris of Ladson SC, and Megan Davis Schlottog (Tighe) of Phoenix, AZ and 9 great nieces and nephews.
The family wishes to recognize as honorary pallbearers the Officers of the Atchison Police Department and the Firefighters and First Responders from the Atchison Fire Department. Stephen was one of your biggest supporters and the years of attention and visits to him are greatly appreciated.
