Brown

Mark Raymond Brown, 59, of Ellwood City, passed away Monday, May 2, 2022, while under the care of UPMC Presbyterian Hospital after a motorcycle accident on April 30, 2022.

Born May 16, 1962, in Ellwood City, he was the son of the late James Norton Sr. and Marlene Bartle Norton.

Mark was the beloved husband for 30 years of Maryjo Brickley Brown, whom he married Aug. 24, 1991; the loving father of Zach and Chelsea (Chris) Brown; and the brother of Barb (Tom) Seebacher, Lisa (Drew) Boots, Crissy (Bob) Nadzam and James Norton Jr.

Dad proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1982 to1985, serving in Germany for a portion of that time.

Dad was an active member of the Zelienople American Legion Post 474 and the American Legion Riders, where he held the position of Road Captain. He also held the position of State Sergeant of Arms for Pennsylvania and was an active member of the Patriot Guard Riders.

Dad was a respected and genuinely caring man. He had an incredible sense of humor that made everyone around him smile. He was an inspiration to many and would selflessly help others in need.

Dad continues to be a blessing to others. His liver has already been gifted to a recipient in South Carolina. His right kidney will be gifted to a recipient in Maryland. Also, his left kidney will be gifted once they find a perfect match. While we grieve, we find some closure, as we know Dad would be honored to provide these recipients a restored quality of life. Even after death, Dad is a true, selfless hero.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Diane (Dave) Mackrell; and a nephew, Jacob Daubenspeck.
