David Christopher Browne
November 20, 1950 - February 3, 2023
David Christopher Browne of Draper, Utah, passed away on February 3, 2023. He was 72 years old. David Browne was born to Allison and Lois Browne on November 20, 1950.
The Ballpark District of Salt Lake City was David's home throughout his childhood. He received his education at South High. After finishing high school, David pursued a degree in theology at Oakwood College. In later years, he found love with Juanita Brown, and they went on to have a son named David Jr.
David had endured many health issues over the past decade, including knee surgery due to an injury sustained while playing football as a teenager. David was a patient at several nursing homes for a significant portion of his life. On the other hand, David had a favorable impression of the Draper Rehabilitation Center. He liked getting around in his electric wheelchair to see and talk to the many visitors, staff, and patients. He made everyone who knew him laugh, cry, and clap at all the stories he shared.
He is survived by a loving son David Jr. and his wife, Jennifer; his sisters Marilyn, Linda (Joseph), his brother Darryl (Shizuko) and his sister Syndi (James); and many nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
David's life will be celebrated on Monday, February 20, 2023, at 11:00 A.M. at the Salt Lake City Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, 460 S 800 E, Salt Lake City. To remember his life and pay tribute to his memory.

Dave Jr., your father was a friend to many, gentle and kind. After his passing, I was told by several people who are residence at the Draper Rehab Center of his acts of kindness. Some said if they were depressed and fealing down, he would sit with them, holding their hand with words of encouragement. I am part of a group that hold Sacrament Meeting each Sunday and an informal "Come Follw Me" meeting each Monday evening. Your Dad joined with us often and contributed to the discussions. After reading your Dad's obituary, I see that there is so much more to your Dad than I was aware. It was a pleasure knowing him, He will be missed. I saw you and your wife at the rehab often visiting with your Dad often, thak you. Craig Fisher Priesthood representative Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
