In Loving Memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hans Brown. He died peacefully in his sleep at a seniors residence in Calgary.
Hans, a longtime resident of Kitimat had lived a full and interesting life. He met and married his beautiful wife Elizabeth in 1954, and their daughter Diana was born in 1956.
The family of three moved to Kitimat in 1957 where Hans was employed by Alcan for his entire working career. Their son Ed was born in 1958 to complete the Brown family. Hans was very involved in the community of Kitimat, on the school board as trustee and on the town Council.
Hans had a major hobby that included anything that was mechanical and had a motor. He loved spending his spare time in the garage fixing cars, lawnmowers and snowblowers. In later years he and his wife travelled extensively and settled for Arizona in the winter months.
Hans will be missed by his children Diana (Roy) Mathew of Calgary and ,Edward (Tammy) Brown of Kitimat.
Hans thoroughly enjoyed his life in Kitimat, it was very complete with friends and community life...he was an icon in Kitimat.
A special thanks to his nephew Ernie (Lorraine) Froese of Calgary who gave generously of their time assisting Hans in his last months.
There will be a private family gathering in March to honor Hans.
