Michael Houston Brown

Michael Houston Brown, 42, of Newbern, Tennessee died on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, in Dyer County, Tennessee.

Born Sunday, June 19, 1983 in Jackson, Tennessee. 

Michael proudly served his country in the United States Army as a Cavalry Scout during Operation Enduring Freedom, with deployments to both Kuwait and Iraq.  A true lover of the outdoors, Michael felt most at peace beneath an open sky, simply taking in the beauty of nature, he tried to spend as much time outside as possible.

Above all, Michael’s greatest joy in life was his children. They were the center of his world, and the moments he shared with them were the ones he treasured most. Though he sometimes carried a rough exterior, Michael had a tender heart and cared deeply for those around him. His compassion, loyalty, and protective spirit will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.
