Ellis "Jack" Brown

Ellis “Jack” Brown was born on November 16, 1940 in Bastrop, Louisiana to the late Joe and Eloise Brown. Jack moved to Las Vegas in 1966 and later he moved Gloria and daughter Cheryl to Vegas to be with him. On September 15, 1973, he united in Holy Matrimony to Gloria Dean Dickerson who preceded him in death on April 6, 2002.

Jack began his employment journey working at the Desert Inn as a Shampoo Porter and after many years he decided on a career change. He was then hired at Republic Silver State Disposal where he retired after 30 years as a supervisor.

 Many would describe Jack as a very humble man, a man of little words. Jack loved his family and would always lend a helping hand to those that needed it. He loved spending time with friends and hanging out at the VFW Post where he had many laughs and good times with friends and family.
