July 13, 1973 – April 20, 2026
Mark “Beaver” Edward Brown passed away in West Monroe, Louisiana on April 20, 2026, at the age of 52. Known for his quick wit and larger-than-life personality, Mark brought laughter wherever he went. He had a deep love for music, a strong cup of coffee always close at hand, and a hearty appreciation for good food.
