In this capacity he worked for various levels of government including Strathcona County, City of Edmonton and in the latter part of his career as a Director for Justice & Solicitor General with the Government of Alberta. Professionally Glenn held many designations including Bachelor of Arts and Physical Recreation degrees granted from Lakehead University ON, and was eventually designated as a Certified Professional Account which guided his life’s work and career. Among his many retirement aspirations- Glenn hoped to mount one last great portage adventure across the US border, canoeing the Mississippi river all the way to New Orleans! Given this, it seemed most enchanting that Glenn and Corine’s last 6 years together was sharing a home with breathtaking views overlooking the Edmonton river valley. In the true spirit of life growing up in northern Ontario, Glenn developed a life-long love for hiking, canoeing and portage adventures which began as a member of the Lakeview High School “Outers.” Prior to traveling west to make his eventual home in Alberta, his parents gifted him with a 17’ Allumacraft silver canoe which continued to fuel a passion for dipping his paddle in the North Saskatchewan, various lakes and rivers throughout Alberta. He was predeceased by his sister Lynn-Ann (Brown) Sippola, and his father John Brown, both in 2001.
He also leaves to mourn his mother Neta Brown and brothers Royden (Lois) Brown, Murray Brown, and Craig Brown in addition to numerous nieces, nephews and one grand nephew all of Thunder Bay, ON where he was born and raised. In the shadow of sorrow, Glenn leaves to mourn his loving life partner Corine Ferguson and his two children Anne & Bill Brown all of Edmonton, AB the place he called “home” the past 43 years. On what should have been just another ordinary work day we lost one of life’s very best.
We who have lost do dwell, for the loss of our loved one without a farewell. Quickly and quietly came the call, your sudden departure shocked us all.
