Obituary

Moses Brown III was born on February 13, 1943 in Faunsdale, AL to the late Moses Brown, Jr. and Velma Williams.  Moses was one of 8 children.  He was also known as "Mose" by his family and friends.  Mose departed this life on October 6, 2021 at 12:05pm in Burlington, MA.
Mose accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior in his early teens and joined the Little Zion Baptist Church in Faunsdale, AL. He remained a member there until he left Faunsdale.  Growing up in the country, Mose liked the outdoors, farming, and animals. He liked planting and growing a garden. One of his favorite things to do was to walk out into the fields and look all around. He said this would help him to think.  Mose attended school in Hale County in Sunshine, AL.
Mose left Faunsdale to follow his brother Rudolph to Lynn, MA seeking better job opportunities.  He secured a job as a crane operator at Eastman Kodak in Peabody, MA.  However, Mose returned home to Faunsdale to marry his high school sweetheart, Minnie Walker.  They united in Holy Matrimony on July 9, 1967.  They returned to Lynn, MA and made it their home.  From this union, two children were born. Mose continued to work for Eastman Kodak for 25 years before retiring in 1992 at the age of 49.
Mose later joined Minnie as a member of Zion Baptist Church, Lynn, MA where he served as a Trustee until his death.
Mose had a love for riding motorcycles.  He was a founding member of the North Shore Wanderers Motorcycle club serving as the Treasurer since the club's beginning in 1993.  He was fondly known as "Big Dogg" traveled the United States on his motorcycle, going as far west as California and as far south as Florida.
He enjoyed investing in real estate, spending time in his gardens, and shooting pool with friends.
Memories of Mose will be cherished by his devoted wife, Minnie Brown, of 54 years.  He was preceded in death by his brothers Armstead Williams, James (Jeff) Williams, John Ed Williams, Rudolph Briggins, and Charles (Cutton) Williams.  He is survived by his sister, Mildred (Joseph) Henderson (Harvest, AL) and brother, Joseph (Carol) Brown (Lynn, MA).  Mose leaves the following of his children behind, Tara Dellofano (Hyattsville, MD), Dexter (Stephanie) Brown (Salem, MA), Angela (Phillip) Owens (Salem, MA), Stephanie (Virgil) Mitchell (Swampscott, MA), Levar Jackson (Somerville, MA), Kimberly Jackson (Jacksonville, FL).  He leaves behind 12 Grandchildren and 3 Great Grandchildren.  Mose also leaves his treasured motorcycle club, the North Shore Wanderers, a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
