Gregory David Brown, 61, of Oldtown, passed away at his home early Friday, May 8, 2020.
Born February 27, 1959, in Cumberland, Greg was the son of the late Thomas H. and Betty Lou (House) Brown. He was preceded in death by a grandson, Wyatt Brown; and father-in-law, Ron Hose.
Greg was a graduate of Oldtown School, class of 1977. He was retired from Allegany County Roads Department as an equipment operator. Greg attended Bethel Assembly of God, Oldtown. He was a member of the Oldtown Liars Club at the School House Kitchen, where he enjoyed drinking coffee with his friends. After retirement, Greg began welding metal art from salvaged objects, then giving his works of art to the special people in his life. Greg loved to make people laugh and loved animals.
