In Memoriam
BROTHER IGNATIUS BROWN, FSC
We know that we have left death and come over into life; we know it because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love is still in death. This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us. We, too, then, ought to give our lives for our brothers!”
(1 John 3:14, 16)
Brother Ignatius Brown was born on April 4, 1932, in St. Louis, Missouri where he attended Christian Brothers College High School until he entered the Brothers in 1948. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from St. Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota, and a doctorate from Ohio State. His first teaching assignment took him to Minnesota, but then he taught and was a school administrator in Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee. After serving as principal in several secondary schools he came to Christian Brothers University in 2000, where he taught graduate courses in the Department of Education and retired in 2010. He continued his love for golf by playing frequently, and his love of music by singing with the Memphis Men of Harmony, a barber shop chorus. He was known widely as “Mr. Trivia.” He died at age 90 on July 4, 2022. He is shown in the second photo below teaching typing at De La Salle High School in Minneapolis.
