Gregory Garn Brown

Gregory Garn Brown passed away on September 22, 2018.  He was the son of Garn Arthur and Lemira Bishop Brown.  Married Evelyn Anderson in 1984. Attended East High where he played all three years varsity football and the University of Utah.  He was a courier for FedEx for seven years.

Greg loved to bargain shop, his flowers, his dogs, Lily and Bandit, family get-togethers and bar-b-ques around his firepit.  He constantly insisted we needed “just one more log on the fire”.  He love watching East High School football and owned a copy of almost every movie he had ever seen.  He enjoyed trips to Wendover and was one of the luckiest men alive.

He always cooked enough for an army and created a safe haven for extended friends and family.  Beneath his angry exterior he was a marshmallow of a man. He insisted that his children become strong and independent and lived to see their successes. Greg recently celebrated his 35th wedding anniversary.

Survived by his wife, Evey, six children: Bradley and Rachel, Kris and Samantha, Jennifer and Troy, Alex, Holly and Max, five grandchildren: Tommy, Danny, Luke, Tristan and Zoey, and many “children from another mother”.
