David Wayland Brown

David Wayland Brown, 47 yrs old passed away on August 4th, 2022 at home in Seabrook, Texas.  He was born on July 17, 1975 in Augusta, Georgia to David and Merlyn Brown.  David is survived by his wife, Aichie Brown and their daughter Adellyn Brown of Quezon City, Philippines and his daughter Oghenefejiro Chloe Brown of Lagos, Nigeria and Seabrook, Texas and her mother Anita Akoh of Lagos, Nigeria, sister Julie Whittle (Cody) and brother Christopher Brown (Angie), 6 nieces and nephews and many other loving family members and friends.

David earned an Associate Degree from Texas State Technical College in Waco, Texas.  He spent 27 years as an Electrical and Instrumentation Specialist, ending as an Electrical Manager for 110 off shore Nigerian oil platforms for major oil companies.  He had a passion for adventure and sharing good times with others.  He travelled the world for work and made lifelong friends wherever he went.  He saw parts of the world that very few every experience, often protected by body guards.

Because of his soft and generous spirit, he lifted many people out of abject poverty and changed future generations by providing them with homes and transportation.  He was a praying man and loved beauty in nature and music, but above all he loved his daughters and his family with all of this heart.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, Aug. 11th at 2 pm at University Baptist Church, 16106 Middlebrook Dr., Houston, Texas 77059. In lieu of flowers those wishing to make a memorial donation in David’s memory may do so to a charity of their choice.

  6. This is still pretty shocking to me and other colleagues in Nigeria but again death is one thing we all know that is inevitable. I got to know Dave while working in my country Nigeria and can’t describe how good a fellow he was.
    He will be greatly missed. My sincere condolence to the Brown’s family and also pray for God to comfort you all. Ameen.

  7. What could have been a great opportunity I missed, when the window was open to me, to share with Way the mysteries of Christ, that was only given to Apostle Paul, and never referred to anywhere else in Scripture. My condolence to all that knew Way, that your hearts might be comforted, and being knit together in love, in Christ Jesus. Your beloved friend, Uncle James
