Jerry Wayne Brown, age 54, passed away at home on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, in Auxvasse, MO. Jerry was born January 7, 1970. He was born to the late Delois (Rev. Willie) Leonberger and the late Cletus Brown. Surviving his passing is his loving wife Lisa (Routson) Brown. He was a devoted father to Kayla (Raymond) Scherer, Lindsey (Matthew) Felten and Andria Brown. He was a cherished grandfather to Wynter, Aryah, Iryis, Kyle, Zach and William. His was the brother of the late Jim (Alison) Brown, Laquetia (Jay) Flanagan, Jerry(Michael)(Shiela) Brown and Sandy (Casey) Richardson.
Jerry was born in St Louis, MO. As a young child, his family moved to Millersburg, IN. He became a Falcon at his school in the Fair Field district. He played many sports in school. Jerry met his beautiful best friend and wife Lisa while crusing down Main Street in 1987. Cruising was his favorite thing to do. His favorite jobs were delivering RVs and Dispatch. He made a lot of friends and did a lot of traveling all over the United States. The stop he loved the most was Columbia, MO, at Camping World. Jerry would stop in to see his mom and dad and stay the weekend. He loved the trips with his wife to Montana they enjoyed watching the sunrise together and building memories. As they got older, Jerry would tell everyone he was Lisa’s pool boy! We all got a big laugh over it. He would be extra and strut his stuff when he would walk Lisa out to her vehicle when she was getting ready for work carrying her lunch box and drinks. Jerry and Kayla drove through 40+ of the United States. He always made sure they made a stop in each of the states so it would count being there when they drove through. He also made time to cheer Kayla on at her band/ color guard competitions. Jerry took Lindsey to California on a trip, and they listened to all kinds of music. Huey Lewis and The News- Do You Believe in Love was a favorite! Jerry also took Andria out on trips when they were not traveling for her softball games. He would always tell people how he took her to the ocean in Florida. He told her to run in the water and then laughed when she hit the drop off. Jerry also passed his jersey number #28 on to Andria when she was playing softball. Jerry loved his grandchildren very much! He always tried his best to support the kids in their sports softball, cheer, soccer, football, and baseball. He even went to school performances. One of his biggest blessings was the ability to play multiple instruments and his incredible singing voice. He could play just about anything. His favorites were piano and bass guitar. Jerry started playing piano at the age of 4 and bass guitar when he was 6. He played by ear and was very talented at it. He loved playing for his grand babies. Jerry also loved to cook. He made a mean homemade pizza. In his younger years he worked at many different pizza places. Jerry took the time to figure out how to make the sauces and would make them at home with his family. Jerry moved back to Missouri to take care of his dad. He went under his dad’s wing and became a pastor. His favorite verse was Psalm 46:10
Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth”. Jerry found his calling and tried his very best to fulfill what God wanted him to do. Jerry also loved to help friends/ family. James’ Auto Repair was another home. You would find him there a lot giving a helping hand.
Service will be held November 2nd, 2024 at his home church: New Beginnings Full Gospel Community Church, address as follows: 380 Old US Highway 54 Auxvasse, MO 65231
I will always remember Jerry and miss him. I will remember him in fondness and joy, forever grateful for the time we got to spend together. Thank you, jerry for being a wonderful friend to James and our family.
Jerry will always hold a special place in all of our hearts. I didn’t know him very long but the past year or so he taught me so much. He always tried to see the best in people. Whenever he preached it was with so much passion. The only thing he loved more than his family was God! Me and my wife are blessed to attend his sermons over the past year or so. We will miss him dearly but we know we will see him one day in heaven.
This how much uncle Jerry meant to me.
L Subject: Tribute to my Dearest Uncle Jerry
Hello everyone
I hope this correspondence finds you in the best of your health and spirits. I am writing this letter with a heavy heart, to pay heartfelt homage to the nostalgia that tenderly clings to my memory. A beloved figure of my life, my dear Uncle Jerry, departed from our reality not long ago, leaving behind an echoing void that is hard to fill for those of us who knew him.
Uncle Jerry was not only an uncle but much more than that; he was a friend, a mentor, and a guardian to me. He had a knack of turning ordinary journeys into extraordinary memories. One of my fondest memories is of him taking me over the road with him, driving through camp. Those trips embody a splendid part of my childhood, since they were filled with countless life lessons set against the ever-changing backdrop of various picturesque landscapes.
Jerry was a man of taste, especially when it came to music, his nostalgic taste in music often mirroring his exuberant character. His true passion, I recall, lay in church music, which he not just enjoyed but cherished. Each melody he played resonated with his belief and the joy he derived from his faith. The sound of his favorite tunes will forever echo in my mind, tying me irreversibly to my memories of him.
As I pen down these words, a stream of memories washes over me, some painted with the colors of love, some etched with the shade of absence, reminding me of the irreplaceable loss. Yet, even through the pang of this profound loss, I find solace in the lasting legacy my Uncle Jerry has left behind. Through every song, every shared journey, and each invaluable life lesson, he lives on.
Uncle Jerry, you will always be remembered with a deep sense of love and respect. Your music, your teachings, and your ever-kind aura, never failed to make me feel loved. And though you are no longer physically amongst us, the wisdom you bestowed, the love you imparted and the echoes of your music continue to reverberate through our lives.
As I conclude this letter, I extend my heartfelt grievances to all those, who along with me, have experienced this immense loss. May each one of us find comfort in our shared memories of him, forever cherishing his love for us.
Uncle Jerry, wherever you are, we will always remember you and the incredible impact you had on our lives. We loved you when you were here, and we will continue to love you eternally.
With deepest sympathy,
Joe
