Arthur A. “Ashley” Brown entered into an eternal peaceful rest on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at Monroe Health and Rehabilitation Center in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Ashley was born on June 13, 1951, in Charlottesville, Virginia, and was the youngest son of Bernard C. Brown, Sr. and Anne Jackson Brown.  He graduated from Lane High School in Charlottesville and worked many years at J. F. Bell Funeral Home after serving in the U.S. Air Force. Ashley was a joy to be around and his cheerfulness, kindness, and his infectious laugh will be remembered.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Bernard C. “Skinny” Brown, Jr. He leaves to cherish his memory, one aunt, Sarah Jackson Baker of Charlottesville; a devoted friend, Lathia “Lakey” Flannagan, and many cousins and a host of friends. The family would like to extend special thanks to his primary physician, Dr. Jonathan Evans, Luv Berkeley, Director of Nursing, Stacy Harris, and the entire care team at Monroe Health and Rehabilitation Center for the loving care that Arthur, affectionately known by them as “Downtown Arthur Brown”, received during his extended residency at the care facility.
