Reverend Billy Gene Brown, 76, died Wednesday, July 2, 2008 at his home in Clinton. Reverend Brown was born December 7, 1931, in Miami, Florida, to William L. and Mildred G. Brown.

During the Korean War, Reverend Brown served in the United States Navy, stationed aboard the U.S.S. Mississippi in Norfolk, Virginia. During his Navy years, he befriended many Spirit-filled Christian young people who encouraged his growth in the Lord. His hunger for God continued all his life.
