Dan Brown
May 2, 2010
Dateline Mount Vernon: Daniel Alexander Brown of Mount Vernon died unexpectedly May 2, 2010, in the hundred year flash flood of Mill Creek in Nashville, Tennessee. A Memorial service will be 11:00 a.m., Saturday, May 22, 2010, at the Antioch Christian Church, Marion. The family will receive friends from 4:00 until 8:00 p.m. Friday at Morgan Funeral and Cremation Choices Mount Vernon. Roger and Joyce Brown welcomed their infant son home August 12, 1991. He grew to be a creative, imaginative, and individualist Christian young man, and graduated from Springville High School in 2009. He loved spending time with his family and especially enjoyed his many friends around the campfires at the family farm. He was dedicated to helping others in any way that he could, discussing his Christian spirituality with others, and to his music. Following his dream to be a recording artist, Dan was attending the School of Audio Engineering Institute in Nashville. He was a down to earth, likeable young man who liked being out in the woods surrounded by God's nature. Dan was a focused young man who believed in thinking outside the box and going the extra mile. He loved to sit down with troubled people, trying to help them work through their problems, and he hoped to work counseling into his music career. He believed in the mantra to "pay it forward" and woke up every morning wanting to make the world a better place. Dan's music often opened these doors for his ministry and leadership. He lived an honorable life and often said, "We should live so that we never have any regrets." Surviving Dan are his parents Roger and Joyce of Mount Vernon; maternal grandparents John and Ruth Urmie, Durant; six aunts; one uncle; numerous cousins and many friends. A memorial fund in Dan's honor has been established. On-line condolences: www.morganfuneralchoices.com

Roger, I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear about your son. We spent a week working in WY and we both talked about family so much and I could tell how much you loved him and how proud you were of him. I hope and pray you can find some peace in the middle of the grief you must be feeling and that it’s possible to find some solace in the happiness he brought to your life. I’m so sorry for your loss. Brian
Joyce & Roger, I’m sorry I never had the privilege of meeting Daniel. I often heard Roger on the phone with Daniel here in the office, and it brought a smile to my face to hear the love and admiration in Rogers voice when they spoke. It reminded me so much of the relationship my Dad and I had when he was alive. My sincerest condolences and please know you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Joe
Roger, Joyce and family. Please know that you all have been in my thoughts and prayers. Danny was an exceptional young man as you very well know, and I’m certain that he touched many lives in a positive way. Though it may not be apparent in the here and now, I stongly believe that the good Lord has a plan for all of us. Danny is in a better place now and is watching over all of us. Remember what I shared with you while in Nashville, and if there is anything at all I can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask. I love you guys and am deeply sorry for the loss of your only son. -Larry
We are so sorry for your lost. Rich and I are Rachel Scroggin’s parents and last year when Mike & Rachel lived with us Dan visited regularly because of his friendship with Michael. Those few days the kids were down there helping you look for Dan was tearing our hearts, we could really (somewhat) feel your pain. We pray that, that pain will subside and peace of knowing that Dan is with our Lord Jesus will fill your hearts.
Dani and I would like to extend our sincerest condolences to you and your family. Please know that we will continue to keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted by all your happiest memories of Danny. With Our Deepest Sympathy. Derrick and Dani Starr
