In Memory
of
Jeremy Davis Brown
WHEREAS, Countless lives were touched by the kindness and
friendship of Jeremy Davis Brown of Austin, who passed away on

WHEREAS, The son of David and Debra Brown, Jeremy Brown was
born on January 31, 1971, in Biloxi, Mississippi; he graduated
from Bellaire High School in 1989 and later earned his bachelor's
degree in government from The University of Texas at Austin; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Brown was employed as a legal clerk for
several prominent law firms while completing his doctor of
jurisprudence degree at the South Texas College of Law in
Houston; he also held a number of other jobs before becoming a
lawyer, including positions as an assistant manager of a bungee
jumping park and as a private investigator for ACTA
Investigations in Houston, where he worked for more than a

the Dallas County Bar Association; and
WHEREAS, This esteemed Texan delighted in the great
outdoors, often spending his leisure time fishing and hunting in
Texas and Mexico; a true animal lover throughout his life, he
took immense pleasure in the company of his Labrador retrievers,

neglect; and

those fortunate enough to have known him will long remember the
way he touched their lives with his warm personality and his
ready smile, and he will forever hold a treasured place in their
hearts; now, therefore, be it
