Pat was born on October 13, 1931, in Seymour, Iowa, to Warner S. and Corda M. (Johnson) Brown.

They were blessed with three daughters: Patricia Kay, Catherine Marie and Rebecca Lynn.

Pat and Libby were charter members of Northern Hills Baptist Church in Holt, Missouri. Both were very active in their church, attending faithfully for many years.

Pat loved talking and telling stories to anyone with an open ear. He never met a stranger!
