Mr. Jason Coclough Brown

Jason Coclough Brown a person of love and pride, always took special joy in supporting and encouraging children with disabilities. He had experience in Early Autism, profound intellectual, physical, and emotional delays, as well as early childhood development. His goal was to be a rainbow in their cloud. He had a quirky sense of humor. He liked to give funny birthday cards and gifts like the pillow with the monogram “I Smile because you are my Mother….I laugh because there’s nothing you can do about it”. Jason was still a child at heart. He enjoyed trips with his wife Cynthia and son, Kendrick; the Brown family’s yearly weeklong trips at Christmas time to Hilton Head Island, where he could shop; and playing pool in the America Pool Association. He even tackled going to a few auctions with his daddy. For Jason Kendrick, he was a “Soccer-daddy coach“. He took very loud bragging rights for his high school Honor Cord, for Perfect Attendance. His place was full of quirky collectibles. He enjoyed coming to Sumter for DeMara’s Pizza and the local barbeque. He was a Carolina fan, win or lose. At the age of eight, Jason was diagnosed with epilepsy. For him, it was a diagnosis-not a life consuming, life limiting plight. He always strived for a normal life; playing youth league baseball; making a 3 year Perfect Attendance award in middle school to prove he could do it without getting sick. In the seventh grade, he made the honor roll, and he played on the high school soccer team, both just to show he was capable of it. Yes, he could be fussy, argumentative and opinioated, but, he never went to jail or disrespected the “Law”. If he liked you or loved you, you knew it. Jason Coclough Brown changed his family’s life. He had a very close relationship with his Grandy, Emma, together they were like partners in” Crime”. Jason loved Manx cats. After he got his first Manx cat named Sprite, he always had to have a Manx, and no other breed…Jason Coclough Brown… Unforgettable! He leaves to cherish precious memories; his wife Cynthia Vargas; son, Jason Kendrick Brown; father, Julian Brown, Jr. and mother, Virginia Alston Brown; brother, Chris (Sabine) Brown; uncle, George (Susan F.) Brown; aunts: Gladys Brown (Robert) Smith, Elder Barbara Alston (James) Houpe, Clara Alston Pitts; brother in-law, life-long friend Ralf Glowna and he is also survived by his beloved cat, “HeyGirl”.
