Gerald Buckley Brown Sr.

Gerald Buckley Brown Sr., 80, passed away Sunday, August 22, 2021 at Deer Trail Assisted Living in Rock Springs, Wyoming. He was a life-long resident of Rock Springs.

Mr. Brown was born October 7, 1940 in Rock Spring, Wyoming; the son of Avery Floyd Brown and Lolita Overy.

He attended schools in Missouri and was a 1957 graduate of Summersville High School.

Gerald married Mabel Maxine Brooks on November 13, 1958 in Saint Louis, Missouri, and she preceded him in death on November 22, 2019 in Rock Springs, Wyoming.

Mr. Brown worked for Bridger Coal for 25 years until his retirement in 1998 as a Heavy Equipment Operator.

Gerald was a man amongst men; a devoted husband and father who enjoyed life to the fullest, whether it was rocking out with his band in his younger days, kicking up dust on the racetrack or shredding snowy mountains on his snow machine. He was an avid horseman and dog lover who shared his life with a few good horses and his trusty dog, Buddy. Gerald was an outdoors man that could teach you a thing or two about hunting or fishing and above all a man that was a fine example to anyone who was blessed enough to have him in their life. He is cherished and loved by many, and his legacy lives on through the family he loved so dearly.
