Arthur Brown Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 16, 2017.

Services to celebrate the life of Arthur J. "A.J." Brown, 88, will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, November 19, 2017, at Centuries Memorial Funeral Home. Interment will follow in Rose Neath Cemetery, Bossier City, LA. There will be a brief visitation beginning at 1:00 p.m. prior to the service.

Born in Coushatta, LA, his first job was as a trolley driver for Shreveport Transportation! He retired from the United States Army after serving in active duty and reserves. He worked for AT&T/Lucent Technologies where he retired after 30 years. He was an El Karubah Shriner, a 32nd Degree Mason and loved hunting and fishing. He preferred to go fishing over any other activity. You never saw Jack Brown without a smile on his face. A smile that will truly be missed!

What a wonderful neighbor and friend when we lived across the street from each other in Shreveport. We were there the morning he had his stroke, and what a journey it has been for Shirley and Jack since that morning. Love and prayers to all the family!

The Final Salute

Brothers in Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Arthur J. (A.J.) Brown our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for A.J. To A.J. it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Korean War while serving in the U.S. Army. A.J., we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 961 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to A.J.'s family and loved ones.
