Larry Keith Brown

Larry Keith Brown, 65, of Casper, WY went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, November 23, 2024. He was born July 17, 1959, at the hospital in Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah. He was the second child to the late Walter Brown and Velma Warren Brown. Larry moved to Casper, WY from Bellingham, MA after COVID changed the whole world. He was an active member of College Heights Baptist Church in Casper where he loved worshipping and fellowshipping with his church family. At Wednesday services, he always wore a goofy cowboy hat when the church met in the park during summer months. He was also an active member of the East Campus Gideons group and could be seen passing out new testaments at the mall. He also enjoyed traveling in his RV and loved visiting family and friends. He never met a stranger and loved talking.

As a child, Larry moved a lot as his father was in the United States Army, leaving behind friends in every location. He graduated from Fayetteville High School in Fayetteville, AR in 1977 where he studied electronics at the West Campus Trade School and won first prize in a state electronics competition. Larry then graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and would then spend the next 40 years working as a principal software engineer, working most recently for Schneider Electric for the last 10 years, not including several years before that with Foxboro Instruments before Schneider acquired that company. His career also included time with other companies such as EG&G, Boeing, and Fisher Controls. As an engineer, Larry traveled the globe attending electrical conventions and standards committee meetings. While working for Schneider/Foxboro/Fisher, he was awarded at least 17 patents on electronic devices and systems.

Larry was preceded in death by his father Walter Brown, paternal grandparents Frank and Clara Armstrong Brown, and maternal grandparents Elliot and Nona Blake Warren. He is survived by his mother Velma Warren Brown of Burlington, WI, and siblings: Mary Ellen Goff of Casper, WY; Alan Brown (Tammy) of Burlington, WI; and Kathy Brown (Randy) of Belton, TX. Also, several nieces and nephews: Rachel Goff, Lydia Goff, Sarah Bennett (Johnathan), Spencer Brown, Brittany Douglas, Lindsey Brown (fiancé, Mason Kelley), and Leslie Brown; one great nephew, Nicodemus and one great niece Bella. 

A memorial service will be held on January 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the College Heights Baptist Church in Casper, WY. Burial will be at the Oakland Cemetery in Fayetteville, AR at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Gideons at Casper East Camp, P.O. Box 263, Casper, WY 82602.
