Kenneth Maurice Brown Jr., 23

Kenneth Maurice Brown Jr., 23 of New Haven, departed this mortal life June 11, 2014 while sleeping peacefully in his bed. He was born Feburary 4, 1991 in New Haven, CT to Kenneth Brown Sr. and Charlene Minder. He was the only boy of six children. At the tender age of 23 he understood what it meant to be humble and loving to all, through his upbringing at St. Matthew U.F.W. Baptist church.

In transition from a boy to a man Kenneth was working ever so hard on educating himself as early as elementary school where he attended Wexler/Grant Community School and high school at Metropolitan Business Academy. From high school he started his journey into higher education at Gateway Community College (where he completed an associate’s degree) and Eastern Connecticut State University to finish his bachelor degree in graphic design. He loved the arts and enjoyed expressing himself through his paintings and drawings. While at Eastern he was a valued member of the football team #95, who gave nothing but love and respect to his teammates.

He was employed at Benchmark Healthcare where he worked as a food service worker. According to his employer he was cherished by all the patients and his co-workers. He aspired to work as a full-time clinician and or social worker. All he wanted was to open his own private practice where he would do what he was known and loved for, which was listening to others and helping them through their issues. Something he came by honestly with a lifetime of training with his five sisters who individually needed him for something in their life.

He was survived by his parents Kenneth M. Brown Sr. (father), Charlene Minder (Mother), Sherri Brown (Mom). Grandmother Thomasina Minder. His five sisters Erin Brown (Ira Summers), Erika Hickerson (Rashee Hickerson), Ebonee Brown (Brandon Fisher), Whitney Nichols (Jeremy Bradham), Miya Brown and Amorette Weeks. Aunts: Elizabeth Bennett (Great Aunt), Barbera Dupree, Rosilyn Minder, Karen Brown, Sharon Brown and Bernice Brown. Uncles: Austin Jordan (Great Uncle), Eric Brown, Thomas Minder, Anthony Brown, David Flewellen, Naro Lee, Roosevelt Bowen. He was a loving Uncle to five nephews, Christopher Summers, Jeremy and Jeremiah Brabham, Rashee and Ryan Hickerson. Kenny Brown was pre-deceased by his Paternal Grandmother Maggie Staggers, Paternal Grandfather Luther Staggers, Maternal Grandfather Robert Minder Sr., Uncle Robert Minder Jr., and Aunt Teresa Bowen.

He will be missed not only by those listed but a host of family and friends who loved him more than words can express.
