CLINTON - William Joseph "Bill" Brown, 66, was called home on October 6, 2019, at his home. He was born on May 11, 1953, in Greencastle, to the late William Franklin and Barbara Ann (Sears) Brown.

Bill graduated from Greencastle High School in the class of 1971. He was an avid songwriter and enjoyed playing guitar for his family and friends.

Bill loved meeting people and his career in aviation gave him the opportunity to do that. He was employed by ABX Air in Ohio from 1985 to 2010 as the director of technical sales and aircraft engine procurement. Bill traveled extensively, not only domestically but internationally, as well. He hosted the Air Carriers Purchasing Conference event in Chicago in 2008.

Several years after retiring, William moved back to his native Indiana to be closer to his family and friends, always staying in touch with the many friends he made during the course of his career.

He was preceded in death by his stepmother, Ruth; and his former wife and mother of his two children, Carol.

Bill is survived by his wife, Deborah of Clinton; son, Christopher of Clinton; daughter, Katie of San Diego; three sisters, Bonnie (David) Callahan of Reelsville, Peggy (David) McCullough of Reelsville, and Janet (Harold) Rumple of Prairie Creek; a stepsister, Shirlee (Dale) Roahrig or Martinsville; sister-in-law, Julia (Philip) McFarland; and brother-in-law, William Simpson of Terre Haute. Bill will also be remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins, family, and friends.

The family wishes to thank Hospice of the Wabash Valley for their support and care. Special appreciation to Lori and Mary, his nurses; and to Jennifer, his aide.

A celebration of life will be held at 7:00 P.M. Friday, October 25, 2019, at Moore Funeral Home in Brazil. The family will accept friends on Friday from 4:00 P.M. until the time of service.
