Keith was born October 18, 1943 the son of Paul and Ruth (Bradfield) Brown. He married Carol A. Vaughn, November 24, 1961 in Stockport. She preceded him in death, December 18, 2021.
Keith lived in Rochester, NY for over 60 years, where he worked as a mechanical engineer for Dupont and Eastman Kodak Company. He also worked part-time at the Country Club of Rochester as a groundskeeper and the Town of Greece maintenance department. Shortly after Carol’s passing, Keith returned home to Iowa.
Keith enjoyed tinkering and fixing things and doing home repair and lawn care. Keith was your modern-day MacGyver – he could tweak anything to and make it work better – he was not afraid to dive in to make anything work.
Those left to honor his memory include his daughter, Shawna (Rich) Terrigino of Spencerport, New York; siblings, Karyl (Donnie) Adam, Kent (Sue) Brown, Kristine (Larry) Cass, and Kevin (Margie) Brown; sister-in-law, Anna Brown, and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his parents; siblings Kenneth Brown, Kermit Brown, and Karen Wells, and mother and father-in-law, Robert “Bob” and Allie Vaughn.
