What an absolute kind Christian gentleman. I came to know Bro. Tom and his fine family at their book store, where they courteously displayed complimentary tapes from our Church. It was always a pleasure to have contact with Tom or any of the Brown family. RIP Brother Brown.

My Condolences to Family of Pastor Thomas Brown. On Sunday, May 11, 1969 at 13th street Baptist Church in Port Arthur, Texas I walked the isle and excepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior under the preaching and counseling of Pastor Thomas Brown. On Sunday, May 25, 1969 Pastor Thomas Brown led me in Baptism in a profession of my faith. Truly, Pastor Brown has affected my life on this earth and my eternal destination. I thank Jesus for dying for my sins and for Pastor Brown who led me to my Savior Jesus Christ. My heart and prayers go out to the Brown Family.

Dear Mrs. Brown, Please know that I considered Brother Brown as one of God's great men. While he never sought recognition, we who knew him well found him to be a brother who cared and was always willing to help. I know you will miss him; but his going will make the soon comming of Jesus much sweeter. May God multiply His blessing on you and the rest of the family.
