Coleman C. Brown

BROWN, Coleman C., 87, MAPLETON, March 13, 2013. Arrangements are in the care of Duncan-Graves Funeral Home, Presque Isle.

     MAPLETON – Coleman C. Brown, “Dad”, 87, took his last leg of his journey home Wednesday, March 13, 2013. He was born on June 18, 1925, in Presque Isle, the son of Coleman and Madeline (Maynard) Brown.
    Dad enjoyed flower arranging. It also gave him great joy to create and share his Christmas village with friends and strangers alike. Like the bear, he wanted to see the other side of the mountain. He was always curious about what was around the bend and on down the road. Trucking gave him that fulfillment as well as a chance to meet interesting people, many of whom became friends.
    The year was never complete without a trip to the Fryeburg Fair. He was a self-appointed ambassador for his beloved Aroostook County. From his “perfect” campsite, he passed out potato pins and recipes. He always took two camp chairs along; one for him and one for a friend he had yet to meet.
    Dad is survived by his daughters, Carol Flynn and her husband, Brian, and Candy Weymouth and her husband, Terry; granddaughter, Megan Talbot and her husband, Dave and their family, Emma, Lauren and Maggie; a grandson, Evan Weymouth and his fiancé, Kayla and their daughter, Adelynn. He is also survived by his son, Marc Brown and his family, William Drost and his wife, Cintia and their children, Ethan and Taylor; Julie (Drost) Thibodeau and her husband, Mickey and their children, Madison, Maranda, Morgan; and a great-granddaughter, Olivia; a brother, Malcolm Brown and his wife, Claudene, their son, Timothy and his family, Cole, Shea, Jessie and Haddee.
    In addition to his parents, dad was predeceased by his wife, Margaret (Lovley) Brown.
    Friends called 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 16, 2013, at the Presque Isle Wesleyan Church, 387 Centerline Road, Presque Isle, where funeral services were held at noon with Pastor Bernard Brown officiating. There was a time of remembrance and fellowship following the service at the Chapman Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Coleman’s memory to the Central Aroostook Humane Society, 26 Cross Street, PresqueIsle. Online condolences may be expressed at www.duncan-graves.com.
