Bobby Wayne Brown, age 67, had his season end on August 22, 2014. His season began on February 18, 1947 in Wichita Falls, Texas and his early years were spent in Holliday, Texas. He was an avid baseball player from the time he could hold a bat. He was a standout player at South Houston High School in Pasadena, Texas, where he was one of the few players able to get a hit off of Nolan Ryan. He also played fast pitch and slow pitch softball later on in life. Bobby proudly served his country in Korea from 1967 thru 1969 in the United States Army.
There were two seasons in his life, deer season and not deer season, according to him. He was happiest sitting in a deer stand and loved the outdoors. If there are deer in Heaven, they better watch out for him.
Bobby was preceded in death by his mother and father, Hazel and Harry Brown, and his daughter, Stephanie Lee Brown. He is survived by daughter, Kacee Lyn Jackson and husband Kyle; sons, Bobby Wayne Brown, Jr. and wife Amy and Brady Wade Brown; grandchildren, Grant, Blake, Ashtyn and Brayson Brown and Collin and Jena Alverson; sister, Sandra Kittrell and husband Roger; and uncle, Bud Riddle and wife Jean.
