Jerry Marvin Brown, 74, of Pampa, peacefuly slipped from this life surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday, November 27, 2018 at his home. He made his debut to this life on August 2, 1944 in Shattuck, Oklahoma to Marvin and Veda Brown.
Jerry proudly served the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He was a Cobra Pilot and survived being shot down while protecting his troops. He married the love of his life, Jennie Payton, in Buffalo, Oklahoma on December 21, 1970. They enjoyed 47 years together while raising four children. In 1984, Jerry moved his family to Pampa from Sandnes, Norway. He retired from GPM as an Area Supervisor. Some of the things Jerry enjoyed in life were traveling with his family, working on antique furniture, watching baseball and Oklahoma Univerity football. A few of his hobbies included eating amazing food, listening to various genres of music and dancing, but nothing was more important to him than his family. Jerry's family will miss him dearly, but have an eternal hope and peace knowing that he is no longer in pain and dancing on the streets of gold with his Savior!
