This page is in loving memory of my brother, 
 Brown Matthews, Jr. 
 who lived a short, but powerful life to our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.

His life was a testimony to the goodness of God.

Thirty years ago Saturday (3/28/2009), God called him home.  His work was done here.

If you have a moment, read his personal testimony and read a tribute I prepared in more detail to let you know about him.

LET US HEAR FROM YOU

If you have any personal recollections of interactions you had with Brown when he was alive, I would greatly appreciate hearing those from you (even after all these years).  Please send a link of this page to others that may have known Brown that they might respond in a similar way.  Anyone with photos of old performances or individual or group settings with Brown, your .jpg (s) would be a treasure to our family.

Or if you did not know Brown, but want to comment on what you have read and heard above, I would love to hear your thoughts as well.

Anyone can reach me at: gram4re@gmail.com

God bless,

Graham Matthews
