> Louis Clyde Brown
> Louis Clyde Brown 10/19/1929 ~ 6/21/2009 Years ago sitting at a
> funeral, Lou leaned over and said, "When I die, tell them 'Shit
> Happens.'"Louis Clyde Brown passed away June 21, 2009. Known as Pops
> to his family, Lou lived a life of thought and action. Born October
> 19, 1929 - 10 days before the stock market crash, he grew up amongst
> scarcity but never knew it. He met Zoe Ann Wiley, the love of his
> life, while skiing at Alta. They lived a full life together until
> her passing in September of 2005. Their children, Kari Karas, Cori,
> Toby (Janet) and Dain (Michelle) grew up snow-skiing, boating, water-
> skiing, camping, motorcycling, dune buggy'n and generally out trying
> every kind of exciting thing life has to offer. Among the favorites:
> Lake Powell, Bear Lake and Big Sand Mountain come to mind. Days
> sipping bourbon and coke waiting for the water to get smooth. Nights
> around the campfire telling stories. It doesn't get much better than
> that. Lou spent his working life on the Salt Lake City Fire
> Department. He retired with the #2 Badge, while building the airport
> fire operations. The fire department was an extended family for Lou,
> Zoe and the kids. Many wonderful friends came from those years of
> service. To be honest, Lou could be an ass. One friend called him a
> "true intellectual," since he couldn't let any comment pass without
> a challenge. To some this was a source of annoyance, to others a
> source of strength. Whatever he was, Lou had an impact on people.
> He'll be missed and not soon forgotten. The next time you think
> about trying something new or something that might scare you a bit.
> Go ahead and do it. And if you can, take a moment and think of Lou.
> He'd like that. If you want to take a moment now to remember him,
> raise your glass and say, "Lou. Shit definitely happens." A party
> will be held to celebrate his life and tell lies about him and the
> things he did on July 11th from 4-6 p.m. at Dain's house at 8813
> South Renegade Road (2285 East), Sandy. Join us if you can.
