Charles Edwin Brown, born on January 22, 1932, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at home in Southampton on February 6, 2026. He lived a life full of dedication, service, and profound commitment to his community and family.

A graduate of Lower Moreland High School, Charles furthered his education at Temple University and Drexel University, laying the groundwork for a successful career as a manufacturers representative of precious metals.

Outside of his professional and military pursuits, Charles was an active member of the Mystic Shrine in Irem Temple of Wilkes-Barre, PA. He had a genuine love for nature and found joy in spending time outdoors, particularly while working in his yard, where he enjoyed nurturing the beauty of his surroundings.

He is survived by his loving daughter, Beth Doyle (James), and his sons, Gregory Brown and Scott Brown (Samantha), along with his daughter-in-law, Kimberly Brown. Charles cherished his grandchildren, who brought immense joy to his life: Allison Conlon (Thomas), Carianne Doyle, Steven Brown, Ronald Brown, Matthew Brown, Michael Brown, and Emily Brown. His legacy continues through two great-grandchildren, Ryleigh and Kinley Conlon.

Charles is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Elaine Brown (Danenberger), and his son, Charles E. Brown, Jr. The impact of his love and dedication will forever resonate within the hearts of those who knew him, and he will be deeply missed by family and friends alike.
