May 4, 2023, 72, Goldsboro –

Thomas Daniel Brown, 72, passed away Thursday at Kitty Askins Hospice Center. He was the son of the late Charles and Mary Brown and was the widow of Marilyn Brown. Thomas enjoyed camping at the beach and riding his boat. Often, he could be found working on old cars with Marilyn. He also enjoyed working in the yard and building things. Thomas was an avid album collector and had many in his collection. Most of all he will be remembered for his ability to cook, and no one left his home during mealtime without having something to eat.

Service arrangements will be announced at a later date.

Thomas is survived by his sons, Donovan Brown and wife, Delora of Pikeville, Billy Jack Brown and his wife, Mandy of Dudley, and Christopher “Rowdy” Ward of Dudley; grandchildren, Brandon Lane, Chelsea Lancaster, Walter Lee, Krysten Brown, Sienna Brown, Hayden Brown, Sawyer Brown, Megan Brown, Dillon Brown, Alexis Brown, Logan Brown, Cameron Ward, Hunter Ward, Brysan Ward, Noah Ward, and Paisley Ward; and great-grandchildren, Olivia Lane, Brayden Lane, Ray Von Brown, Nellie Quick, Amaya Williams, and Briana Brown.
