James "Jim" Le Roy BrownI am a Veteran.

of Harrison, AR

January 7, 1948 - March 18, 2019

Jim was born January 7, 1948, and passed from this life Monday, March 18, 2019, to his reward. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, but had been a lifelong resident in Arkansas since the age of 9 and more particularly of Harrison, Boone County, since 1981.

Jim was predeceased by his parents, Robert James Brown and Bertha L. Earhart Woodcock. He is survived by the love of his life, Dian, and they had just recently celebrated 40 years of marriage. They have one son, Michael L. Brown, married to Kristen M. (Hicks) Brown, of Harrison; and 4 grandchildren, all of Harrison, namely Keaton James Brown, Annemarie Lynn Eaton, Mary Elizabeth Eaton, and Madelynn Elise Brown.

Jim was a U. S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War era. He retired from Entergy Corp., where he had been a hydraulics mechanic for the northern division. His job had brought him and his family to Harrison. He loved his work, the people he worked with and living here in the Ozarks.

Jim was a member of the Church of Christ where he spent the last 13 years of his life working and worshiping with Northside Church of Christ. His mission late in life, which he would tell you brought him closer to the Lord, was serving the Lord by teaching His word in jails here in Boone, Carroll and Newton Counties, as well as many prisons here in the state of Arkansas and Texas.

Visitation was Thursday, March 21, 2019, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Roller-Christeson Funeral Home.

Funeral service was 10:00 A.M., Friday, March 22, 2019, at Northside Church of Christ, Harrison, with Dakota Ellis, Pete Papa, and Heath Gipson officiating.

Internment was at the Maple Leaf Cemetery, Harrison.

Pallbearers were Sawyer Deakins, David Bell, Rick Snow, John Wray, Buck Hayes, and Heath Gipson.
