William "Bill" H. Brown, I

July 14, 1942 — May 1, 2025

William "Bill" H. Brown, age 82, of Woodbine, Maryland, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on May 1, 2025.

Born on July 14, 1942, in Baltimore County, Maryland, the son of the late Charles W. Brown and the late Mildred Brown.

Bill was a proud owner of W. H. Brown Construction, a testament to his dedication and hard work throughout his life.

Bill’s passion extended beyond his professional life; he was an avid racecar driver, known for competing in Figure 8 late models and classic cars. He also cherished the moments spent playing music with his brother and son-in-law, particularly in the bluegrass genre, which brought him immense joy.

Family was the cornerstone of Bill's life, and he leaves behind his beloved wife of 63 years, Linda Brown (nee Shipe). He is survived by their children, Lynn Brown, William Brown, II, and his wife Cheryl, David Wayne Brown, and Kim Welsh and her husband Kurt. Bill took great pride in his role as a grandfather to Stephanie, Clarissa, Brandi, Nicole, and step-grandson Doug Brown, III, as well as his great-grandchildren—Brooklyn, Abilene, Hadleigh, Austin, Jeremy, Loralie, Jacob, Tori, and Natalie. His siblings, Nancy, Bobby, and Millie, along with numerous nieces and nephews.

Bill is preceded in death by his siblings Ethel, Betty, Charlie, and Jimmy.
