Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

He was a friend of my dad, Ellijay Officer Ralph C. Byers who had gone upstairs for a pack of cigarettes when that 56 Chevy passed through Ellijay. The killer was caught in Blairsville . My buddy Don Ledford and I had hitched to Blairsville for school and looked over that black 56 Chevy 2-dr. Officer Brown’s blood was still on the side of the car. A pack of cigarettes probably saved my dad’s life.

Patrolman Hobert Brown was my uncle but I never got to meet him becaise I wasn't born until 1970. I wish I would have had the honor of knowing him but his memory lives on in our family. Thank you for your service Uncle Hobert.

My grandmother, my dad’s mom, knew Officer Brown personally, and I have heard about him and his wonderful personality and how he touched so many all my life. She never really mentions his passing, but she mentioned this Christmas after my dad made the decision to return to the jail and leave the family violence unit. Officer Brown, you may have never known how much you meant to everyone, but you will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.
