Obituary

Wes Brown, age 77, passed away Thursday, March 27, 2014 ending his battle with ALS – Lou Gehrig’s disease.  He was born on February 5, 1937 in Milton, MA, and was preceded in death by his parents Russell and Elfrieda Brown, and brother, Gordon Hall.

He was married to Freda Bergamo of New Mexico from 1962 to 1979.  Wes then married his long time friend, Nell McCarty of Dallas on August 29, 1997. His passion was bluegrass music and playing the banjo.  He was a member of the Dallas Banjo Band where he was able to spend time with close friends who shared the same passion.  Wes was a fighter jet pilot in the Air National Guard and the Air Force, discharged in 1967.  After 19 years he retired from Restland Funeral Home, a Stewart Enterprises, Inc. owned Cemetery and Funeral Home, where he created electronic forms and salesforce automation tools years before these processes were main stream.  He had various other careers and hobbies throughout his life, typically focused on his interest and natural talent of creating and working with his hands.  He was a skilled wood smith, steel smith and scale model aircraft hobbyist.  Survivors include wife, Nell Brown; sons, Wayne Brown, Kevin Brown; daughters, Rowena Russell, Lynn Hillston; sisters, Shirley Beeman-Moore, Karen Pulsney; brothers, Kenneth Brown, Russell Brown; and numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and cousins.  All that knew him will miss him very much.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 1:00 pm in the Brooks Family Chapel at the North Dallas Funeral Home, 2710 Valley View Lane, Farmers Branch, Texas 75234 through the generosity of John P. Brooks, owner of The John P. Brooks Family Funeral Homes in North Texas.

"I highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium; when I had to make and pay for my brother’s arrangements across state lines, Evelyn Montonya, in particular, demonstrated both compassion and professionalism and made a very sad and difficult situation much easier. Many thanks."

"The unexpected passing of my husband was a very difficult and trying time for my boys and I. I had the good fortune of having Abel walk us thru this process. Working with him was such a weight off my shoulders. He was professional, so polite and helpful. The service was beautiful – never did I feel rushed or like just another customer. They gave me the time I needed and I appreciate that so much! Also Mr. Brooks took special care of my husband as he is a fellow mason. I would highly recommend working with Abel and North Dallas Funeral Home."

"As soon as the call was made to Mr. Wayne Baxter all of my brothers final needs were taken care of. They walked me through what to expect the timeline and even dealt with the cemetery and the grave diggers. I was a hot mess due to my brothers sudden and unexpected passing. The experience was seamless and made it easy for my brother’s friends and family to say their last goodbyes. They even had the size to accommodate such a large group that showed up . The package deals that they offered were cost-effective and didn’t break my bank account. They included extras and accommodations that other funeral homes charged extra for. All the staff was amazing including Mr. Don Dodd . I can not thank them enough for all their help."

Dear John,

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Tha you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you.

Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad.

Love, The Gillilands
