Guy Milford Brown

Guy Milford Brown, 62, of McCrory, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, August 5, 2023. He was born in Searcy on May 30, 1961 to Bobby Pedro and Eula Mae Brown. Guy Brown was a name that was synonymous with McCrory athletics, in fact with sports state wide. He was a 1979 graduate of McCrory High School and remained a true Jaguar his entire life. He coached, in some capacity, for over 44 years and has touched many lives and help shape many young men and women. He was involved in all forms of sports either coaching or keeping stats and was a fixture on the sidelines. Guy loved children and that was evident in his coaching style. He said that he never had a kid that wasn’t coachable. He always showed patience, love and kindness with children. He could be stern when necessary but always followed up with a loving explanation and correction concerning what was done wrong. Guy also never failed to praise someone for a job well done. He loved watching kids excel and succeed. From the hundreds, if not thousands, of games he has coached, the countless softball and baseball tournaments he organized and the multitudes of Friday night football games he has been a part of, everyone’s life has a piece of Guy Brown in it. He had a nickname for everyone he knew, it was one of the ways you knew Guy loved you. He enjoyed laughing and had fun with life. His smile was contagious and you were going to smile also when in his presence. Guy was most recently employed by AR Care as the sports and activity director and was a member of the Smith Chapel Baptist Church Church in Colt. Although his presence here is gone, his legacy will remain with all who knew him forever. He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Lynne Brown; mother, Eula Mae Brown; brother, Jody Brown; sister, Michelle Brown; son, Jeremy Tucker and daughter-in-law, Lindsey; daughter, April Johnson (Adam); grandchildren, Jacey Tarwater, Hayden Tarwater, Emery Tucker, Callen Tucker, Alyssa Johnson, Aubrey Johnson and Andie Johnson. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by a daughter, Tanya Tarwater. Visitation will be on Tuesday from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Smith Chapel Baptist Church. Funeral services will be conducted on Wednesday, August 9, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at the church. Bro. Rick Dobbins and Bro. J.T. Baskins will officiate. Interment will follow in the Vanndale Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to Powell Funeral Home, Bald Knob – Judsonia. www.powellfuneralhome.net
