Franklin Lee Brown

Franklin Lee Brown, affectionately known as “Frankie” to his friends, was born to the late Williams and Irene Brown on March 28, 1958, in Easton, MD. He departed this life on April 30, 2024.

Frankie grew up in the Caroline County school system and graduated from North Caroline High School. Frankie worked at Palmetto in Denton, MD, for many years before he went on to pursue self employment as a “Premier Detailer.”

Out of the union, his only beloved son, Little Frank, was born with one bonus stepson, Dale Kevin Wise, Jr. Frankie was a devoted husband, wonderful father, and amazing grandfather. He enjoyed working as a detailer and was the best of the best at his job. Frankie also looked forward to going to Bloomingdale Store every morning to drink his coffee and socialize with his buddies.
