Obituary For Herbert Brown

Funeral Services for Mr. Herbert Brown, will be held Saturday, November 21, 2026, 11:00 A.M. at The Chapel of Donald Trimble Mortuary. Interment, South-View Cemetery, Atlanta, GA.

Herbert “Bear” Brown was born on March 18, 1944, in Atlanta, Georgia, to Mable Brown and Willie Floyd Brown. He peacefully departed this life on October 23, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and a family who will forever cherish his presence.
A proud Grady Baby, Herbert attended Crogman Elementary School and was a graduate of Price High School. He later answered the call to serve his country as a member of the United States Army, proudly serving as a veteran of the Vietnam War. Throughout his working years, he held various responsibilities, with his last occupation being that of a forklift driver.
Herbert had a love for sports and was a devoted fan who believed the best seat in the house was right at home rather than actually being at the game! He knew how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and, above all, treasured his family.
Family was at the heart of who Herbert was. He shared a special bond with his fraternal
twin brother, Haywood, although the two were complete opposites in almost every way. One was tall, the other short, one outgoing, the other an introvert, one slender, the other pleasingly plump. Despite their differences, their twin bond was one of a kind. Herbert also found great joy in teasing his sisters and nieces, keeping everyone on their toes and giving the family plenty of moments to laugh about. His playful spirit, quick wit, and unmistakable personality will be deeply missed.
Herbert was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Mable and Willie Floyd Brown: his sister Alberta Kelley, his brothers, Alphonso, Kermitt, Icolious, and Emory Brown; and, earlier this year, his nieces, Janelle Brown and Keema Brown.
He leaves to cherish his precious memory his sisters, Elouise Manuel and Velma D. McCrary; his twin brother, Haywood Brown; his nieces and nephews, including Marquita M. Brown and Andre B. Manuel, devoted caregiver, Chasity Poole and a host of other relatives and dear friends.
Though Herbert has departed this earthly life, the memories he created, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. His family will remember his humor, his playful ways, his love of sports, and the special place he held in their lives.
His presence will be missed, his stories will be retold, and his legacy of family, laughter, and love will never be forgotten.
Rest peacefully, Bear. Your work here is done, but your memory will live on forever.

Donald Trimble Mortuary, Inc., 1876 Second Avenue, Decatur, 404-371-0772-3.
