Remembering Gregory Brown: A Beloved Local Figure

Greg Brown, a long-time Pensacola resident, passed away on May 1, 2026, at the age of 72. Born on April 7, 1954, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, he later moved to Florida, where he built a life filled with passion and dedication.

Greg earned both an Associate of Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of West Florida. He established a small insurance agency, where he worked alongside his devoted assistant, Joyce, and continued to serve his clients for as long as possible.

A true water enthusiast, Greg loved activities such as boating in his 17-foot Cape Horn, swimming, snorkeling, and scalloping. In his youth, he enjoyed diving and lobstering with his cousins. Additionally, he was an avid tennis player, frequently enjoying a game even as he aged, but he found his greatest joy in the water, whether at a pool or the ocean.

Greg was predeceased by his parents, Raymond Pierre Brown and Evelyn Moore Brown, as well as his brothers Roger Vincent, Preston Douglas, and Stuart Allen Brown. He is survived by his wife Alison, children Brittany (Matt) Chandler and Paul (Allison) Alec, stepmother Patsy Morgan, and several nieces, a nephew, and great-nieces and nephews.

A visitation for Greg will take place at Pensacola Memorial Gardens on May 7, 2026, starting at 10 AM, followed by funeral services at 11 AM.
