Date of Passing: Jan 20, 2019
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryHART FRANK ATKINSON BROWN 1944 - 2019 Hart Brown, deeply beloved partner, father, grandfather and friend, passed away peacefully, at home, on January 20, 2019. He was 74 years young. Hart was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to the late Mannifrank and Edythe Brown of Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba. He resided in Winnipeg with his longtime partner Judith Harper and raised his children here. Hart leaves behind his two sons, Rhodes Brown (wife Laura) of Victoria, BC and Noel Brown (wife Ashley) of Winnipeg, Manitoba; and daughter Mya Brown of Vancouver, BC. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Callum, Noah and Hudson; and his sister Robin Whetter (husband David) of Vancouver, BC. All are deeply saddened by his passing. Growing up in Lac du Bonnet, he developed a deep appreciation for the simple things in life. That orientation comprised the epicenter of his value system, one in which he consistently put family and friends ahead of material things. As a young man, Hart worked from coast to coast in the mining industry. Once settled in Winnipeg, he attended the University of Manitoba earning a degree in education and subsequently worked as a junior high school teacher. Hart loved to work with his hands and on leaving teaching worked in property management until 1997 when he again returned to teaching until 2013. He was passionate about life and enjoyed sailing, fishing, skiing, home renovations and great times with Judith, his children and friends. He particularly enjoyed being on the water and time spent in his home town. Hart is known by his family and friends as a man who was extremely intelligent, a great conversationalist whose wit kept one on their toes, and mostly as someone who knew how to live to the fullest. He lived a fulfilled life and will remain always in our memories. We will miss him greatly. A celebration of his life will be held at 10:00 a.m., January 25, 2019 at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard. As an expression of sympathy and in recognition of Hart's devotion to his hometown, charitable donations may be made to the Lac du Bonnet and District Museum, Box 47, Lac du Bonnet, MB R0A 1A0. Cheques should be payable to Lac du Bonnet and District Museum. THOMSON "IN THE PARK" 204-925-1120 Condolences may be sent to www.thomsoninthepark.com

I knew Hart for only a few years starting in 2014 as he was a customer in the office where I work. I just found out today that I won't be seeing him in the office anymore and it really hit me. I always looked forward to when he came in and he will be sorely missed. A great man that always treated me like I was an equal even though I know I have a long way to go and a lot to learn. I hope to become a man like him someday who is seen as an absolute delight when he enters a room because that's what he was for our office. - Posted by: Brady Friesen (Work Relationship) on: Jan 31, 2019

Hart was a wonderful close friend of ours since we were young children growing up in Lac du Bonnet. After moving away we were lucky enough to have many great visits with him on our returns to visit family and friends. He was a very special guy. Judy, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our deepest sympathy. - Posted by: Andy and Lynn Usackis (Friend) on: Jan 25, 2019

Sending my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Hart. I have many fond memories of my “uncle” Hart. He always shared his wealth of encouraging comments, funny jokes and interesting stories. He had an uncanny way of making you feel welcomed and part of the family. A dear memory of him and his mother, my great auntie Edie, is of them speaking fluent pig Latin to each other. I was in awe! I am sorry that I can not be there to pay my respects and show my support for the family. I am thinking and sending love to you all. - Posted by: Shannon Waters (Daughter of Hart’s cousin) on: Jan 25, 2019

There are many who will miss Hart, and I am among them. I spent many nice days on the nine hole golf course with Hart and another friend, practicing our short game, and will miss his wit and sense of humor at the Sunday evening gatherings at my brother's house. Hart was a good man, a kind man, and a positive influence on everyone he met. Our condolences go out to Judith and Hart's family. - Posted by: Herman de Vries (Friend) on: Jan 24, 2019
