AMHERST — Like any loving mother, Joan Brown was going to make chicken soup for her son, retired Lorain police officer Jack Brown, who wasn’t feeling well Monday.
Brown, 43, had been complaining of not feeling well all morning, his mother said.
But when she and her husband, John, went over to their son’s Amherst home, it was too late. The former Lorain police officer had fallen down the stairs trying to let his parents in. He was rushed to Amherst Hospital, where he died of natural causes.
“Unfortunately, God took him,” Joan Brown, 65, said.
Brown, a father of two children, ages 10 and 12, was remembered as a great father and a great cop. He enjoyed attending his children’s sporting events. Brown served as a patrolman for the Lorain Police Department for 20 years before retiring in April 2010. Prior to that, he served in the Army for three years, stationed in Korea.
Lorain police Sgt. Bob Brown said Jack Brown was a good guy, and that he always got along with him.
“We all do our best to do good,” his mother said. “He helped many people. So many people came up to me saying that he responded to a call for them or helped them in some way.”
He was the eldest of her three children and his mother said she had many fond memories of her son, from family cookouts to vacations. Another favorite memory was his meticulous mannerisms.
“There was always a joke that Jack liked everything perfect,” Joan Brown said, laughing. “He always said, ‘Mom, if Dad goes first, you can’t come stay with me. Now Dad can stay because he’s neat.’”
So many people have come to the Brown’s home to offer condolences, visit the family and bring food, she added.
“At least nine to 10 officers showed up at the hospital. People just started coming in, and I hadn’t called anyone,” Joan Brown said.
But that was the effect Brown had on those he met.
“If you knew Jack, you would’ve loved him,” his mother said.
