Gerald C. Brown
Brigadier General
United States Army, Retired
On 28 July 2006, at the age of 63, Jed
Brown, Brigadier General, United States Army, Retired, turned
in his mess kit and was honorably discharged from the ranks of
the living.
He wishes to thank his dearly departed
parents Ethel and Victor Brown for bringing him into this world
and raising him, West Point for preparing him for life and sending
him on his way, and the U.S. Army for providing him an opportunity
to be all he could be. Jed also thanks a considerable number
of dear and true friends and loved ones who, with their sincere
love and affection, have done so much to make his sojourn on
earth such a pleasant and enjoyable one, particularly his daughters
Deborah and Suzanne and his beloved wife Jean. He certainly
hopes to meet them all again in the foreseeable future at a happy
reunion in the great beyond. His final wishes are for God to
bless his family, friends, classmates and comrades in arms, and
for God to bless America.
Jed passed away peacefully this afternoon
at about 1600 at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC.
Most of his last few weeks were spent at Walter Reed trying to
battle a vicious cancer that tore through his body with lightning
speed. He fought on bravely in great pain, but finally the cancer
took it's toll. Jed and Jean asked me to thank all of you for
your thoughts and prayers. In my last conversation with him,
Jed asked me to send his best wishes to all Classmates and Army
friends.
I will announce burial arrangements in
the near future.
Please remember the Brown family in your
prayers during this difficult time.
May God Bless Our Class.
