Thaxton “TH” Brown, Jr. passed away Thursday, April 18, 2024, at Methodist Medical Center. He was very proud of his family, his church, and his community. TH was the most precious and generous husband, daddy, and papaw.

Until 4 years ago when his health began to fail, he was very active in his community. He served on the Roane County Tax Appeals Board for several years and later served on the Board of Cumberland Utilities. He was also on the Oliver Springs City Council. He was a Mason with the Oliver Springs Masonic Omega #536 F & A.M. Lodge.

TH served in the Air Force from 1962-1966. He was crew chief on a KC135.

If you were around TH very long, I’m sure he shared his rock with you that he picked up on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. It always made people smile when he would tell them the story about Jesus.

He was preceded in death by his father: Thaxton H. Brown, Sr.; and mother: Pauline Brown.

TH is survived by his wife: Sherry; children: Thaxton (Buster) H. Brown III (Vanessa), Tracy (Tim) Crisp, Tara (Alan) Buck, and Carman Marshall; grandchildren: Kayla (Tori) Crisp, Logan Crisp, Alex Brown, Savanna (Nick) Chancey, Samantha Brown, Kersten (Jake) Hayes, Brandon (Taylor) Buck, Lindsay Buck, and Maddox Marshall; great-grandson: Asher Buck; and sister: Sandy (David) Ange.
