Obituary for BROWN


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Monday July 05, 2004

Neal Austin, born June 10, 1983 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, completed his journey on July 2, 2004. He leaves behind his parents, Emmit and Sonja Brown, uncles and aunts, Jo and Damon Brown of Albuquerque, and Charles and Janet Walter of Springville, Utah, dearest cousins, Mark and Nikki Brown of Albuquerque, and best friend Holly Rodecap. His grandparents, Neal and Lois Walter and Pete and Betty Brown, completed their journeys so they could welcome him home. Austin was a warrior in his own right, fighting against cystic fibrosis the best he knew how. He won. We thank the compassionate and caring MICU staff at UNMH and Dr. Sarah Allen, Adult CF Clinic, UNMH, who helped him complete his journey. A memorial service will be held at the University Blvd. Chapel, Friday, July 9, at 2:00 p.m. with Dr. Stephen Barrilleaux officiating. Donations may be made in Austin's name to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 6931 Arlington Rd., Bethasda, MD. French Mortuary 1111 University Blvd. NE 843-6333
