Shawn Matthew Brown

Shawn Matthew Brown, age 36 of Vallonia, passed away on Friday, September 2, 2016 as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Born October 1, 1979 in Bremerton, Washington, he was the son of Mark and Linda Brown. On February 18, 2016, he married Amanda Giltner.

Shawn worked for H & L Tree Trimming, a job that he absolutely loved. He was known as a thrill seeker and loved the outdoors. He loved to be on the water kayaking, canoeing, and fishing, and enjoyed hiking and camping while never resisting the urge to play in the campfire. He was a mama’s boy, his dad’s best friend, a proud father to his children, the epitome of a big brother and the world to his wife. Shawn was known as a sarcastic guy who loved his family and thanked God for bringing Amanda into his life.

Survivors include his wife Amanda; parents, Mark and Linda Brown of Seymour; children, Jordin Brown, Aiden Brown and Felicity Brown all of Seymour; sister, Crystal (Alan Jones) Brown of Crothersville; brother, John (Jennifer) Brown of Gas City; brother and sister-in-law, Melissa and Ian Waller; grandmothers, Edna Akers of Seymour and Brenda Brown of Medora; aunt, LeeAnn (Don) Vondielingen of Seymour; uncle, Robert Seelmaer of TN; nephews, Logan Collins, Corey Reynolds, Joshua Reynolds, Collin Bowman, Junior Brown, Christopher Wiscaver and Ithan Waller; niece, Lilly Waller; great-nephew, Anakin. Shawn also had several cousins who survive. He will be missed by his pit bull Paws, who he loved dearly.
