Victor Blunden Brown, Victor Brown was born in Washington, D.C., on
October 13, 1920, the beloved son of the late Alonzo P. and Matilda C.
Brown. He was also the beloved husband of the late Dorothy Brown; brother
to the late Alonso "Bus" Brown; brother to the late Phyllis Brown Hodson of
Bethesda, Maryland; and loving brother to Don Brown and Nancy, of
Bethesda, Maryland; father to sons, Gary Brown and wife, Diane, of Bethesda,
Maryland, and Kenneth Brown and wife, Lynn, of Charlottesville.
Victor died in Charlottesville on Sunday, October 2, 2011, peacefully in his
sleep.
Vic was the grandfather to six, Suzanne Brown and Derek of northern
Virginia, Kristine Brown Patrick and Matt of Hay Market, Joseph Brown and
Tamika of Silver Spring, Maryland, William Brown and Christie of northern
Virginia, Marin Brown of New Canaan, Connecticut, and Carling Brown of
Charlottesville.
Vic was also a great- grandfather to five, Gavin Brown, Avery Patrick,
Payton Brown, Zachery Bowden and baby, Erin Patrick. Vic graduated
Summa Cum Laude from Gonzaga High School in Washington, D.C. He
graduated from Columbus University in Washington, D.C. (now referred to as
Catholic University), Summa Cum Laude and a Master's Degree in
Accounting. Vic went on to become a CPA and owned his own firm in
Bethesda, Maryland, and worked until he was 87 years old.
Vic served proudly in United States Navy as a pilot during World War II.
Vic was referred to as the "coach" because he coached sports teams his sons
were on for over 10 years. Vic was a man with an incredible sense of humor
and good cheer. He was a sports fanatic and a diehard Washington Redskin fan
even in their worst years and he followed them his entire life. His brain was still
exceptionally sharp enough at age 91 to stand up a the Martha Jefferson House
in Charlottesville and recite "Casey's Revenge", by memory.
Towards the end of his journey here in Charlottesville, Vic was in the care
of Martha Jefferson House who so kindly and lovingly took extraordinary care
of him. It didn't matter how many times Vic rang the buzzer for a Coke or sent
his meals back because he wasn't ready to eat or his taste buds thought the
food wasn't hot enough, the staff respected his dignity and loved him for his
humor and charm. His buzzer rings and jokes will be missed as much as his
personality. Vic will be in the hearts of his family for years to come. Funeral
arrangements will be in the D.C. area, where he will be buried with his late
wife, Dorothy.
