Adam Brown, 39, of Silsbee, peacefully won his courageous battle against cancer on Sunday, August 16, 2015. He was born on April 2, 1976, in Beaumont, and was the son of Deborah Ann Flanakin Brown and Thomas Maples Brown. Adam was a repair technician with AT&T for 16 years.

Adam loved and was loved by many.  He was fiercely loyal to his family and friends.  He idolized his Paw and was his mother’s protector every chance he got.  Adam had a passion for music and fishing.  If he wasn’t at a concert on the weekend, you could most likely find him on the lake.  He loved Texas Country music and his enthusiasm gave everyone around him a love for it as well.  He taught himself how to play the guitar and never left home without one.  Adam’s kindness and generosity touched the lives of almost everyone he came into contact with.  Never one to shy away, he sought out opportunities to help others in need. 

Adam leaves behind his mother; sister, Amanda Brown Simon and her husband, Jason; nieces, Abigail Simon and Juliann Simon; grandmother, Bonnie Flanakin; uncle, Rusty Flanakin and his wife, Ann, all of Silsbee; cousins, Elizabeth Briggs and her husband, Tim, of Tomball; and Matt Flanakin and his wife, Dana, of Lumberton.

He is preceded in death by his father and grandfather, Julian Flanakin.

A gathering of Adam’s family and friends will be from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, August 19, 2015, at Broussard’s, 490 Cemetery Road, Silsbee.  His memorial service will be 10:00 a.m., Thursday, August 20, 2015, at Broussard’s, with interment to follow at R.S. Farmer Memorial Cemetery, Silsbee
