I wish to extend my deepest condolences to the family. Adolphus was a family friend to me and my siblings for as long as I can remember. Adolphus loved his old cars and music. Thank you, Adolphus for being so kind to my Mom when our Dad passed away; she speaks of that often. May God grant you all Peace and Comfort during this time of bereavement.

Dear Mr. Brown,
I don’t even have words! We still believe you are gone. I refuse to believe. You have been our family’s best friend since before I was born. People day you can’t pick your family, but WE DEFINITELY PICKED YOU!!! Maddox and I were watching something about ice cream on a food show two weeks ago and we both looked at each other and burst into laughter. The first thing he said was, “That ice cream we made with Mr. James was sooo good, but we did t know what we were doing!”
We started laughing again. I am blessed that I have so many fond memories of you as a kid. You have been there through thick and thin, but I am grateful that my son shares the same memories! We have so many! I hate that you are gone, but I am blessed that I moved back home and got a chance to spend these last few months hanging out. Things will never be the same, but I know you are in heaven cooking, playing cards, and checking in on everyone!!! Kiss my Granny for me and give Miss Bird a big hug for us!!! WE LOVE YOU and we are getting an ice cream machine!!!! LOL!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!

To the family I am so very sorry for the sudden loss of your brother, father and grandfather. James (Adolphus) was truly my best friend, I miss him very much. James was also a very good friend to my entire family. He was especially proud of his son, and grandkids. James loved life, food especially seafood , Golden Corral, Fred’s Table just to name a few. Rest in peace my friend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
