Zachary Brown, age 35, of Meigs County, Tennessee, passed away on December 24, 2025. Zachary was born on September 9, 1990, and grew up in Meigs County, a place he proudly called home throughout his life.

Zachary was the devoted husband of his cherished wife, Brittany Brown, and a loving father to his greatest blessings: Aaralyn, Cole, Robyn, Emmett, Falynn, Ivan, and Kruz. His children were his pride and joy, and he lived each day making sure they knew how deeply they were loved.

He was the beloved son of Roger and Connie Brown, and a loving son-in-law to Michael and Tiffany McCarthy, and Scot Norton. Zachary was a dear brother to Logan Brown (deceased), Thomas Brown and his wife Mande, Shawn Jordan and his wife Brittany, and Kimberly Norton and her fiancé Devin.

Zachary was a cherished grandson to Shannon and Carlene Keller, Janice and her husband Gary, and was preceded in death by his grandparents Seldon and Ruth Brown.

Zachary was a huge part of the recovery community and took great pride in helping others find hope, healing, and purpose. His heart for service and encouragement left a lasting impact on countless lives. Known for his hands-on talents, Zachary could build or fix just about anything. He loved his Dodge truck, riding his Harley, and working with his hands-but above all, he loved his family.

A man of faith, Zachary loved God and his church. He was a devoted husband, an incredible father, and a loyal friend. His kindness, strength, and willingness to help others will never be forgotten.

Zachary will be deeply missed by his many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews, as well as his recovery family and all who were blessed to know him.
