His pastimes included tinkering with model trains, spending weekends with his children, and working alongside his brothers, Dave and Brian. An Eagle scout, Michael lived the Scout Oath and Law as a loving and devoted father, brother, son, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. He is survived by his father, Lawrence A. (Sandi) Brown; children, Joshua (Britney) Brown and Megan Brown; girlfriend Laurie Mosley; brother David Brown, sister Laura Brown, brother Brian (Anna) Brown; many nieces and nephews; as well as his dog, Samantha.

The funeral services will be at 6 pm following the visitation with childhood friend, Pastor Jim Gindlesberger officiating. All are encouraged to wear their favorite Detroit Red Wings gear, after all it is game day. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you support the growth of hockey and keep Michael’s love of the game alive by making a memorial contribution to the Detroit Red Wings Foundation.
