Mr. Charles Herman Brown Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

God saw the road was getting rough; the hills got harder to climb, he gently closed Charles Brown’s caring eyes and whispered, “Peace be Thine.” So, it was early Monday morning, January 11, 2021 that our heavenly Father stretched out his gentle hand and beckoned him to his eternal home. Charles H. Brown was born to the late Alex L. Brown and late Virginia Melvin Brown on September 28, 1938 in Robeson County, North Carolina. He was the youngest of 17 children. At an early age, Charles joined Panthersford United Presbyterian Church. He graduated from Oak Ridge High School in 1957. Upon graduating, he held his first job with Macy’s Department Store in New York. He heard the call of duty and joined the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States Army, and became part of of the sniper team during the Vietnam War. He served his country for 27 years. Charles later joined Haymount Presbyterian Church, where he was an active worker, and was well known for being ready to help in any capacity.
