Obituary

Aaron Ross Brown, son of David and DeLee Brown, passed from this life on Thursday, October 4 2018. He passed away at his family home in Salem Oregon.

Aaron was a young man bestowed with a generous nature, a deep love for his family and friends, and a sense of humor that could light up any room. He enjoyed his association with the Boy Scout program and was an avid camper. Shortly before his death he completed all of the requirements for his Eagle rank and his parents are extremely proud of this accomplishment.

Aaron enjoyed, at various times throughout his life, playing baseball and football, attending live sporting events, spending time with his friends, and singing in his mom’s elementary school choir and his dad’s choir at the high school. He served with honor in church and scout assignments and was a valued employee at the carwash where he worked.

Aaron is survived by his father and mother, David and DeLee Brown. Funeral services for Aaron will take place on Thursday, October 11 at 2:00 pm with a public viewing beginning at noon. Services will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 4550 Lone Oak Road Southeast in Salem. All are welcome.

In lieu of flowers/gifts the family requests that you consider making a donation to the Aaron Ross Brown Memorial fund see link below which will help with final expenses as well as provide a continuing scholarship for future choir students at Sprague High.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. Often there are no answers to why and we struggle with what we could or should have done differently. Heavenly Father will bless you with peace through the grace and mercy of His son. I am grateful for my association with the Brown family.

  7. The Herb Family says:

    Our hearts are so heavy with the sadness of Aaron's passing and we are sending all of our love and prayers to the Brown family and the Sprague community where he will be greatly missed. May God give you strength, comfort and peace!

  8. Heather Hemmert says:

    Our prayers are with the Brown Family. We grieve over this loss but know the Lord has a great plan that we may not understand with our earthly vision right now. Aaron was a light in our home many times. Goofy and funny describe him perfectly, as many times he made us laugh. He was a loyal friend, especially to our son, Colby. He was hard-working and because of this also helped Colby get a job this last summer. Aaron truly would do anything for his friends. His heart was big. His friendship to Colby will forever be something we will be grateful for. Sadly that is the thing we will miss the most. Aaron, you are loved and missed. David, and DeLee, we love you and pray for angels to surround you with peace and healing at this time.

  9. Becky (Curtis) Colonna, Magna, Utah says:

    Our deepest condolences to you and your family. May you find some peace knowing he’s with so much family on the other side. God Bless you.

  10. Kaeli Pitcher says:

    We love Aaron, and we love our Uncle Dave and Aunt Dee! We pray for you both every single day, and we know you will be comforted by The Lord forever. We love you so much. ♥️
