A man of sharp intellect, deep faith, and profound compassion, Herbert Brown’s life was a testament to his dedication to God, family, and community. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, on October 28, 1947, to Lelia and Herbert Brown, Sr., Herbert’s brilliance was evident from an early age. He was an excellent student, graduating from Ullman High School in 1964 at just 16 years old.

His pursuit of knowledge led him to the prestigious Howard University in Washington, D.C. It was there his life began to truly blossom; he became a proud member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, married his first wife, and welcomed his first child. It was also at Howard in 1968 where he first encountered the Divine Principle, a discovery that would shape the course of his spiritual life.

Herbert built a long and successful career with the D.C. Department of Labor. However, his work was more than just a job; it was a calling to serve. He found immense joy in mentoring young people, actively finding jobs for them through the Summer Youth Program. His desire to help others also led him to work as a Counselor at a D.C. Halfway House and to serve as a beloved and trusted sponsor for several members of Alcoholics Anonymous, guiding them with wisdom and empathy.

Family was the center of Herbert’s world. He was a loving and supportive father to Anthony and Carla Brown from his first marriage. As an active member of the Unification Church in Washington, his faith journey led him to his greatest blessing: his wife, Takako. They were joined together in the Blessing of 1992 and were later blessed with their daughter, Yiyeon. In 2011, Herbert and his family moved to Las Vegas, where he continued to be a pillar of faith and support for the church's mission.

Herbert’s passions extended to the tennis court, where he was an avid and lifelong player since his high school days. He generously shared his love for the game, teaching family members who continue to enjoy it today. Whether it was mastering the clarinet in his youth or any goal he set his mind to, Herbert approached it with a singular focus and quiet determination.

Herbert Brown brought wisdom, thoughtfulness, and an unwavering spirit to everyone he met. He will be deeply missed by his loving family, his cherished friends, and the countless lives he touched.

Brother Herbert's CheonBo Seonghwa Ceremony will be held on Saturday, September 13 at 3PM at the Palm Eastern Mortuary & Cemetery, 7600 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89123.
