Swt Guess
In Memory of Jerry Dean Brown,
My Uncle, my Friend, my Mentor.
A steady rock, a voice so soft,
He held the hearts of kin aloft.
With a spirit bright and a mind so keen,
The kindest soul we’ve ever seen.
He wasn’t just an Uncle by a name or by a tie,
He was the hand that helped me reach a distant, foreign sky.
In my journey to Iraq, he was the one who paved the way,
A mentor and a champion through every working day.
But his greatest pride was found at home, in the life he chose to lead,
With Mary, the love of his life, and his best friend indeed.
A father who adored his boys, a constant, guiding light,
He loved Zach, Cory and Justin, and gave a valiant fight.
He leaves a path for them to walk along,
With all of his loved ones singing Jerry's song.
A host of friends and family feel the silence he has left,
Yet we’re rich with all the memories, though we feel a bit of theft.
Between the cars and baking pies, and the sons he loved with pride,
He walked through life with patience and a goodness deep inside.
He loved Jesus, his Lord and Savior,
His life was proof simply by his behavior.
Though "Pops" has gone to rest too fast, his legacy is clear,
In the family that he cherished and the hearts that hold him dear. ❤️ SWT
