John Edward Brown passed away on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the age of 94.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 65 years, Louise Anne Brown. He is survived by his three children: Judy (Mike Carcasole) of New Hamburg, Ontario; Doug (Valerie) and Michael (Monica) of Winnipeg. John's legacy continues through his five grandchildren: Amy (Steve), Adam (Breanne), Alexandra Carcasole (Roman), Jonathan Carcasole (Danielle), and Keith Brown, and five great-grandchildren: Vera Chubaty, Roger Chubaty, Sullivan Brown, Mia Godunok, and Brianna Carcasole.
John grew up on Ferry Road in St. James, one of seven children. He would outlive them all, and in doing so, surpassed the family's "Brown curse," which had set the bar at 92. His grandfather, his father, and three of his sisters had all made it to 92 and stopped there. John made it to 94 years.
Cremation has taken place. John's ashes have been placed alongside Louise's at Transcona Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to Diabetes Canada or a charity of your choice.
He lived on his own terms, loved the people beside him, and left when he was good and ready. Ninety-four years, pilgrim. Not bad.
