Obituary for William Lee Brown

WILLIAM LEE BROWN

William Lee Brown, 81 of Sunman, formerly of Sharonville, Ohio, went to meet the Lord on Monday July 12, 2021, surrounded by his family.  

William was born January 21, 1940, to the late Marshall and Mary Jane (White) Brown. He grew up in Crab Orchard, KY.  

He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Louetta (Caldwell) Brown. His children, Vicki (Rodney) Hoppe, Rick (Cyndi) Brown and Lori (Ron Chambers) Brown. Beloved Papaw of Nick (Kate) Hoppe, Ashley (Jason) Muse, Ben (Brooke) Hoppe, Cassie (Tyler Hudson) Vanskyock, Megan (Jonathan) Welborn, Matthew Brown, and Haley Vanskyock. The treasured Silly Papaw of Will, Mason, Logan, Lincoln, Lily, Liam, Lukas, Madi, Wyatt and Braxton. The special uncle of Glenda (Doug) Gajus, Jaime and Trevor Gajus. He will be missed by many nieces, nephews and friends.

Lee, as he was known by friends, worked 34 years at Formica Corporation. He was a volunteer Fire Fighter for the City of Sharonville for 28 years. He enjoyed coaching his children in baseball and softball for more than 20 years for SYO. He was a long time member of the Sharonville Masonic Lodge 204 F&M.

Lee loved to hunt and garden, and enjoyed passing this passion to his grandchildren. Lee would give the shirt off his back and help anyone in need. He never met a stranger. His humor is what will be missed most.

Per Lee’s request, there will not be a public memorial.
