The Williams, Klein, and Brown families are deeply saddened to share that David Gerald Brown Jr. has passed away. He was home with family, and we are eternally grateful we could surround him with support, comfort, and love in his last days. We lost him on April 25th, 2022.
David was a bright light who filled every room he walked into. His sense of humor, charm, and laugh were unmistakable, and he made fast friends wherever he went. His passion for food and hospitality were matched only by his magnetic, effervescent personality, biting sense of humor, and quick wit.
A proud graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, David was born in Atlanta, Georgia on November, 20th 1973 but had the pleasure to call many great states his home, or home away from home. California, New York, Florida, and Montana were some of the lucky places that benefited from his wandering expertise. His flair in the dining room, magnetic smile, and passion and zest for the culinary world will be dearly missed.
Survivors other than his mother, Laura Brown Williams, Stepfather, John Klein, include his two sisters, Kelly Klein and Alexandria Williams; three brothers, John Klein, Danny Klein and Greg Klein; uncle, Mackie Brown; several other family members and friends.
The family requests donations be made in David’s memory to Glacier National Park at www.glacier.org/donate-to-glacier/ .
