Mark Nathan Brown

Mark Nathan Brown, known affectionately as "Pup" or "Brownie" to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2024, in Liberty, Missouri, at the age of 49. Born on June 4, 1975, in Enid, Oklahoma, Mark was a beacon of joy and kindness throughout his life, touching the hearts of everyone he met with his selfless nature and infectious humor.

Mark's journey through life was one filled with love, laughter, and dedication. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Christen Brown, and a loving father to his daughters, Tylar Brown, Trystan Carter, and Taygen Brown. His family circle extended with warmth to his son-in-law, Alec Carter, and he cherished every moment he spent with his adored grandchildren, Rowan, Ames, and Nella. Mark's unwavering support and love for his family were the cornerstones of his life.

The son of Jim and Pat Brown, Mark grew up in a nurturing environment that shaped his generous spirit. He shared a special bond with his sister Michelle Goeden and brothers Mike and Matt Brown, creating a lifetime of memories and an unbreakable family bond.

Mark is survived by his mother-in-law Dianna Daugherty and preceded in death by his dear late father-in-law, Philip Daugherty.

Mark's passion for providing for his family led him to earn a college certificate at the National Academy of Railroad Sciences, a partnership of Johnson County Community College and BNSF Railway. His education paved the way for a fulfilling career as a Locomotive Engineer at BNSF, where he was respected by his colleagues for his expertise and camaraderie.

Outside of his professional life, Mark's interests were as rich and varied as his personality. He was an avid sports fan, enthusiastically supporting the Kansas City Royals, Kansas City Chiefs, Nebraska football, and the game of golf. Mark's love for sports was only matched by his love for his family, and he relished the times when he could combine the two, often watching K-State football games surrounded by his loved ones.

Family gatherings were Mark's favorite pastime, where he would host dinners and share stories around a bonfire, creating an atmosphere of warmth and togetherness that will be fondly remembered by all who were lucky enough to be a part of them. His grandchildren were the light of his life, and he took immense joy in watching them grow, instilling in them the values of kindness and humor that he embodied.

Mark's zest for life extended to the great outdoors, where he could be found hunting with his son-in-law or relaxing on his boat out on the lake. The outdoors were a place of solace and happiness for him. He also enjoyed quiet moments with his wife on their patio, sipping cocktails and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

Those who knew Mark will remember him as a man who lived life to the fullest, with a heart that was always open and a smile that could light up a room. His ability to find humor in any situation and his willingness to lend a helping hand made him a cherished friend and an integral part of his community.

As we say goodbye to Mark Nathan Brown, we celebrate a life lived with purpose, love, and laughter. His legacy will continue in the stories shared around bonfires, the cheers at sporting events, and the gentle waves on the lake that carry the echoes of his favorite songs. Mark's memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends, and the impact he made on this world will be felt for generations to come.

Rest in peace, Mark. Your journey on earth may have ended, but the path you've carved in our hearts is everlasting.
