Born in Pacolet, SC, on September 4, 1923; son of the late Ernest Brown (1894–1958) and Bertha Genobles Brown (1893–1936); stepson of the late Nannie McBride Brown; husband of the late Nellie Hames "Nell" Atkinson Brown (1919–2009) After graduating from Pacolet High School, he was inducted into the Army and served his country in World War II from 1943–1945 as a proud member of the 272nd Army Field Artillery Battalion. The 272nd, which was organized by legendary Duke football coach William Wallace Wade, participated in such historic campaigns as the Battle of Normandy, the Siegfried Line Break, the Battle of the Bulge, and the Crossing of the Rhine. Following the war, Harold married Nell, his sweetheart prior to entering the war. They and their two daughters called Pacolet home until 1960 when they then moved to Johnson Avenue in Inman, SC where they purchased a home on a densely wooded lot with a flowing creek. There, he and Nell through the years purchased property on each side of their home and transformed it into a place of beauty – with azaleas, camellias, roses, a beautiful lawn and two gazebos, which he built, over the creek. He loved entertaining family and friends there. Retired from Inman Mills as an electrician and continued to reside in Inman and take care of his yard until 2017 when he moved to Lexington, SC to be closer to his daughter. Survived by his daughter, Jan Campbell (Tim); granddaughters, Kelly Foster (Ryan), Kim Mitchell (Rawls); grandson, Jeff Moore (Lara); four great-grandchildren; sister, Geraldine Brown Spencer (1929–2021); many very special nieces and nephews; and a good friend and neighbor, Gary Koob. Also predeceased by a daughter, Bertha Gail Brown Moore (1948-1977) and her husband, John Cecil Moore (1947-2012); brother, Winfield Fulton Brown (1916–1981); and sisters, Callie Ruth Brown Fowler (1925-1979), Ernestine "Teany" B. Varner (1925-2008), and Sherlon Brown Wilkins (1933–2019). In light of the COVID-19 virus, Harold was laid to rest in a private graveside service in Pacolet Memorial Gardens beside his loving wife of 63 years. Memorials could be made to a charity of one's choice. Seawright Funeral Home & Crematory Inman, SC
