Maston Brown's Obituary
Maston Floyd Brown died on April 17 in a tragic car accident in Broken Arrow, OK. An Okie native, Maston Brown was born on May 24, 1982, to Dennis Brown and Sarita Lay Brown in Ponca City. The family briefly moved to Lake Charles, LA, where Maston tried spicy Cajun food and gator. They moved back to Oklahoma when he was four, but he never lost his love of food.
Maston never met a stranger. He was a tough-guy with a big heart. He loved spending time with friends and family - especially his grandparents in Adrian, TX and Hominy, OK. There he learned to work cattle, ride horses, drive tractors, fish, and shoot prairie dogs. He was an excellent shot.
Maston played school sports such as basketball, baseball, and soccer, but his greatest talent was music. He played the guitar, drums, piano, trombone - there wasn’t anything he couldn’t play! He was in the school orchestra and pep band and helped lead worship at church. He received a full ride, musical scholarship to TCC For having “perfect pitch.” Maston graduated from NSU BA with a bachelor’s degree in business management.
In 2009, he married Erin Quinn. They shared 2 beautiful daughters, Lulu and Lena, whom he loved very much. Later he changed careers and became a chef. Most recently he enjoyed cooking for a company called Sodexo at the University of Tulsa.
Maston made the most important decision of his life as a teenager at FaithWeek (church camp) when he realized that, though baptized as a child, Maston had never given his heart to Jesus Christ. While tumultuous at times, Maston’s family never questioned the redeeming work that God was doing in Maston’s life. God was the Perfector of Maston’s faith, and nothing can take him out of God’s hands.
Maston planned to take his girls to South Padre Island this summer for a family vacation. He was also in the process of starting a new ministry with friends that would combine his talents and life experience - training former inmates to cook and possibly leading them in worship at Bible studies.
Maston Brown is survived by his two daughters, Lulu and Lena Brown, their mother Erin Quinn, his parents Dennis and Sarita Brown, his sisters Karen Brown and Katy Redeker, brother-in-law Kirk Redeker, nieces and nephew Kenna, Clayton, Ava, and Elle, grandparents Billy Don and Elizabeth Brown, aunts and uncles Kenna Lou and Scott Bergren, Amy and Scott Villwock, Gerry Lay, and many beloved cousins.
A Memorial service will be held at Life Church Broken Arrow Thursday, April 23rd at 10 am.
