Stanley Philip Brown was born in Quincy, Illinois, on September 18, 1959, the third child of Dorothy and Bud Brown.

An outgoing person, Stan was a natural joiner, becoming involved in multiple projects growing up, including Boy Scouts of America and Junior Achievement. All through his life, he was a motorcycle enthusiast. As an adult, he participated in the Great River Honor Flight, becoming part of the motorcycle escort celebrating veterans as they traveled home from viewing the military monuments in Washington, D.C.

Learning from his dad, Stan worked in concrete construction most of his life, establishing his own company in 2012. Of course, Stan’s services were not limited to construction. If someone had a need, ranging from ice and snow removal to helping with landscaping, Stan would do his best to find a solution.

As a member of Crossing Church, Stan continued to find ways to meet and help others.

Stan is survived by his daughter, Kiala Meyers and her husband, Aaron, of Maywood, Missouri; son, Stanley Brown of Quincy; favorite sister, Jana Loofbourrow, and her husband, Dennis of Joshua, Texas; older brother Greg Brown, and his wife, Denise of Hamilton, Illinois.

His grandchildren are Gabriel Orr, Erik Orr, Aliya Ward, Jemma Meyers, Cadalyn Eddy, Franklyn Eddy, Estherlyn Eddy, Aurora Brown, and Harmony Brown.

Nieces and nephews are Dennise Loofbourrow, Tonya McLaughlin, Dianna Kleeman, and her husband, Matthew, and Jacob Brown. Great nieces and nephews: Isaiah Warren, Bella Miller, Audra Warren, Miles Kleeman, Keegan Kleeman, Marcus Kleeman, and Cora Kleeman.

Also surviving are Aunt Sherry and Uncle John Brown, Uncle Larry Brown, and Aunt Lola Taute; and cousins Timothy Smith, Diane Sweet McHugh, Terry Mock, Debbie Carter, Dawn Rapier, Julia Atteberry, Mike Brown, and Valerie Brown.

Predeceasing Stan: his parents, Dorothy and Bud Brown, Aunt Fay Sweet, Aunt Mona Smith; and cousins Steve Presley, Randall Sweet, Ron Sweet, Rick Smith, Debbie Sweet, and Eric Sweet.

We have heard it said of some people that they knew no strangers. Stan certainly put a fine point on that trait. To list the friends he made, many who became like family, would be an endless task. Stan touched many hearts during his life and has left a lasting impression on countless people. He will be long-remembered.

Stan died on Sunday, November 16, 2025. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at The Club, 1023 No. 10th St., Quincy, starting at 2:00pm.

In memory of Stan, memorials may be made to Great River Honor Flight, P.O. Box 3723, Quincy, Illinois 62305.
