Memorial Gifts & Donations




Mr. Kenneth Edward Brown (“KB”) was born on October 17, 1948 in Wilmington NC, the youngest child of Estelle Brown Mclean and the late George Brown. On February 13, 2014, our son, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend transcended to celestial peace.

Kenny was raised in the Hillcrest community in Wilmington NC with his mother Estelle and siblings Ardith and David.

Kenny was educated in the public school system of New Hanover County in Wilmington NC, where he claimed a reputation as the little drummer boy, due to incredible skill as a drummer in the school marching band. Kenny grew up attending Mt. Olive AME and Price Cathedral AMEZ Churches, where he eventually became a member of the choir and usher boards.

Prior to his health declining, he enjoyed going crabbing and fishing with his friends, spending time with family or just socializing and playing card games with his childhood friends.

Kenny met and married Inez Gaymon Brown and later added Juan Brown and DeAngela Brown to their family. Kenny leaves to cherish his memory: his wife Inez Brown; mother Estelle McLean of Wilmington NC; his four children Regina Brown and Michelle Graham of Wilmington NC as well as DeAngela Brown and Juan Brown of Philadelphia PA; Siblings Ardith Brown (Frank) and David Brown of Wilmington NC; a special nephew he helped to raise Mikie as well as a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended relatives and childhood friends.
