S. Wayne Brown was born July 14, 1955 and grew up in Olney and had lived for most of the past twenty years in Pennsylvania and had a career as a tool and dye maker, before retiring due to health issues. He passed away March 17, 2009.   He was a very hard-working dedicated man who loved to laugh and have a good time.  He enjoyed playing his guitar, playing pool, drinking beer and best of all telling jokes and pulling stunts to make others laugh.

He didn't want to be buried, but rather to be cremated so that in death he could fly free; his ashes were spread out as per his wishes.

He is survived by his father, A. Wayne Brown; wife Beverly; sister, Darlene Jones; loving daughter, Stephanie Florian and two grandsons, Tyler Florian and Bradley Florian.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley (Novak) Brown; and infant son, Lucas; and stepmother, Minnie Brown.
