William Baxter Brown Jr.'s Obituary
Bill was born December 25, 1949 in Beaumont, Texas to William Sr. and Dorothy Southerland Brown. He married Anne Holt Stinson on May 29, 1971. They have two children, William Baxter Brown, III and Emily Brown Haddock and four grandchildren. They resided in Plano, Texas, for the last 44 years. Bill passed away on May 8, 2015, where he went to be with his Lord and Savior Friday afternoon surrounded by his loving family. He was previously employed with Wilson Engraving for 28 years; Xerox Corporation for 2 years; and Vision Graphics in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the last 121/2 years. As those who knew him will attest, he was very passionate in all his endeavors and, above all, truly enjoyed the many personal connections he made over the years that developed into strong, lasting friendships. Bill was a family man who enjoyed getting outdoors and the camaraderie developed while hunting, fishing, and golfing. He was a wonderful husband, the greatest father and teacher, and a larger-than-life “Papa” to four grandchildren excited to visit him as often as possible. He had quite an infectious personality, marked by his smile and good humor that will be greatly missed by all those who have been blessed to know him. He will be forever remembered with love by his wife, children, and grandchildren, as well as his siblings Sherilyn Lee Hall, Robert Kent Brown, and Barbara Eileen Blankenship. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, May 13th, at 10am at Prestonwood Baptist Church, located at 6801 W Park Blvd, Plano, TX, 75093.
