David Brown, 83, of Fresno, passed away early Tuesday Morning, May 12, 2026.
Born September 2, 1942, he grew up in Newcomerstown, Ohio and was the son of the late Cecil and Gladys Brown of Newcomerstown, Ohio.
David worked at General Tire, Mineral Fiber, and AK Steel where he headed up their chemical quality and testing labs.
David and Jean (Wells) Brown recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, having been married on April 9, 1966. David was a longtime faithful member of the 1800 Chestnut Street, Church of Christ where he served as Elder and Deacon.
A dedicated mentor, David served as Cub Master for Pack 402 and Scoutmaster for Troop 405 from 1975 to 2005. Under his leadership, Troop 405 grew from five scouts to fifty, as he focused on developing young boys into future leaders and fathers.
