Charles Everette Brown

Conway.......Everette Brown, age 85, passed away peacefully at his home in the early hours of Sunday morning, December 15, 2024. He was born to Varnie Lee Brown and Elwood Register Brown of Aynor, SC. He graduated from Aynor High School 1956. He is predeceased by his parents and older brother, Emory Lee Brown (Bonnie) and former wife, Vivian Capps Brown. He is survived by his two children Jo Nell Brown Koch (Tim) of Myrtle Beach, SC and Charlie Brown (Kelly Brooks) of Conway, SC, two grandchildren, Abbey Susanna Brown (Lawton Hood) and David Rahjae' Koch, and brother, Jim Brown (Jeanwood). He held many Board of Director positions during his lifetime including: Horry Electric Cooperative (for more than 25 years), Horry County Zoning and Appeals Board, USDA Farm Service Agency and Coastal Farmers Warehouse. He was a former deacon at Pawleys Swamp Baptist Church and a former Sunday School teacher at Jamestown Baptist Church where he had attended for many years prior to his death. Mr. Brown was one of the hardest working men in Horry County. His family farmed tobacco and other crops, and he carried on that type of work off and on for most of the remainder of his life. He worked in the floor covering business as a young man and later built and opened 501 Floor Covering Center in Myrtle Beach with his father-in-law and another partner. Everette and his wife Vivian also owned and operated Sea Hawk Motel for many years. He also started and ran a septic tank business and built many spec homes over the years. He enjoyed fishing, working in his garden, NASCAR, especially Dale Earnhardt, helping friends and neighbors when he could, and taking care of his outdoor felines and special duck. You could always find Everette doing work and enjoying time around his beautiful pond and home, both of which he built, and spending time at the various community stores near his home with friends and neighbors over breakfast or lunch. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, December 19, 2024 at Jamestown Baptist Church 2916 4th Avenue, Conway, SC at 11:00 AM with Rev. Jamey Collins officiating.
