Passed into Eternal Life on December 8, 2016, at age 34. Beloved son of Colleen Golden and Marc Brown. He received his formal education within the Private and Public School Systems attending Garden Holmes Lutheran, Messmer High, and finally Rufus King. Marques accepted Christ as his savior at an early age and was confirmed at Garden Holmes Lutheran Church in eighth grade. He joined the United States Navy in 2000 and served for two years. He enjoyed family, sports (Greenbay Packers), his children, barbecuing, detailing cars, mentoring, and working out. Marques was our rock, he kept us all connected and although this is hard for us to accept, let us remember how he lived his life! Marques was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Guy and Elaine Golden; and paternal grandparents, Lorraine and Leotis Brown and Sidney Johnson. Marques J.
