It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jack Brown, who tragically lost his life following a multi-vehicle collision on July 12, 2025, at the intersection of Highway 71 and 120th Street. Jack was 79 years old and a cherished member of his community, remembered for his warmth, wisdom, and the quiet strength that came with a life well lived.
According to authorities, the accident occurred when Jack’s vehicle failed to stop at a posted stop sign and was subsequently struck by another oncoming vehicle. Despite the swift response of emergency personnel, Jack’s injuries proved fatal. He was transported for urgent medical treatment, but sadly, efforts to save him were unsuccessful.
The crash has deeply impacted not only Jack’s family and loved ones but also those in the local community who knew him well. In the wake of this heartbreaking event, the incident has drawn renewed attention to the importance of road safety—especially at rural intersections, where line-of-sight and visibility are often challenging. As investigators continue to piece together the full sequence of events, the hope remains that awareness and infrastructure improvements may help prevent similar tragedies in the future.
Jack was known as a devoted father, grandfather, friend, and neighbor. He spent his life building relationships, offering help when needed, and finding joy in the simple pleasures—afternoons in the garden, Sunday meals with family, or friendly chats at the local hardware store. His presence was a familiar comfort to many, and his absence will be profoundly felt.
Those who knew Jack speak of his gentle nature, his love for the land he called home, and his unshakable dedication to his family. His passing leaves behind not only memories, but also a legacy of kindness, humility, and integrity.
As we come together to mourn, we also extend our heartfelt condolences to everyone affected by this accident. Our thoughts are especially with the Brown family, who are navigating an unimaginable loss, and with the others involved in the crash, who are also grappling with the emotional weight of that day.
A service to celebrate Jack’s life will be announced by his family in the coming days, where friends and loved ones will have the opportunity to honor a life lived with quiet dignity and deep love.
Rest in peace, Jack Brown.
You will be remembered, you will be missed, and your spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved you. 🕊️
