Jeffrey Lynden Brown (27 Feb 1944 - 23 Jan 2021)

Loved loved jeff and sheila and the family so much many memories made going to barry island a really special time when I was a child times I will never forget and keep in my heart for ever

Sleep peacefully Jeff , we will miss your smile, miss your voice and miss your jokes , you truly were such a special man. You will be forever missed xx

Jeff was such a beautiful, kind man.
Even though we've only had Jeff in our lives for a short time, he became a member of our family and we are going to miss him terribly. He was always so warm and happy and he had such wonderful presence whenever you were with him. He was the life and soul of every gathering we had, first on the karaoke or having a dance, and you could guarantee he'd always bring his famous pie with him. Jeff adored his family and I felt like I knew them all with the stories he'd tell and the pictures he'd show.
We really didn't have enough time with you Jeff, and we're heartbroken that you had to go so soon. You and my nan had so many plans. I just wish I could have thanked you one more time for making her so very happy.
Goodnight God bless. Xxx

Well where can I start. Jeff was my uncle, my mothers younger brother and what a lovely man he was, I'm going to really miss seeing him in the mornings when walking the dog in Porthkerry woods or around the lake.

My earliest memory was the 1971 FA Cup final, Arsenal v Liverpool and that wonderful Charlie George goal. Jeff and Shiela were the first people I knew with a colour TV and we all got invited up to the house in Forster Street to watch the match. I remember summer days over the Bendricks with all the grandchildren of the Brown tribe, Shirley and David, Denise, with Sheila and Jeff popping over if he wasn't working. Those were really carefree days especially if the tide was in and we could go off sandy diver.

Working behind the bar in the Cons club, Tuesday nights would always be a special treat. Jeff and the gang including PeeWee, Gordon and the Gills would bring in home made food (you would call it Tapas these days - if you're posh). Jeff's pies and pasties were melt in the mouth gorgeous.

Jeff was also a good squash player, though 20 years older than me, he still had me running around the court like a dog after a fly. I don't think I ever beat him but I did manage to get one over on Clive Brooks from time to time.

These days we mistakenly look up to celebrities and people in power and put them on a pedestal, however the true heroes in life are people like Jeff. He was a hard worker, a dedicated father, husband, brother and son, a true gentleman who put family before everything. That is something that should be celebrated and recognised, Jeff was a true role model. He demonstrated this in many ways especially the way in which he cared for Shiela in the last few years of her life when her health was failing and also the way he was a rock for Cheryl in the days after Larry Brown passed away with cancer. He did look younger and fitter in the last few years than he ever had and I know how proud he was of Tracy, Andrew and all his grandchildren. We are going to miss him dearly.

The first time we met the Browns was when I bit Andrew, after that day Jeff and Shiela became my Mum and Dad's best friends and like a second family to me. I remember Jeff dressing up as Miss Piggy coming down the stairs with dad, I have fond memories of parties and being in each others houses. Jeff made the most amazing curries and was THE BEST bingo caller we could ever wish for. I had the best of both worlds with two families being so close. I will miss the great man, Jeff you will always be in my heart.

I couldn’t have asked for a better grandad. He was such a loving and wise man that taught me lessons that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I know he’s now reunited with my lovely Nan Sheila and hope they will watch over me and be there for all the special moments in my life. I hope I do you proud grandad , we will meet again one day x

Jeff was such a lovely, honest, kind, caring man. I couldn't have asked for a better father in law. He had a heart of gold and was always there for anyone who needed him. He absolutely idolised his family. He was a fantastic dad and grandfather. Everyone adored him. We loved him so much. He will be greatly missed by all of us.

The kindest, smartest, funniest and most caring person in pretty much every room he entered. The life and soul of every social. Had no real reason to be nice to me, an English swine lucky enough to marry his second daughter, but I, and my three children will always hold him in the hugest regard.
Cooked a super curry, played a mean game of cards, a whizz on the guitar and taught my three how to call a game of bingo!
How many can say they are liked by EVERY one? What a fabulous and lovely man.
RIP dear friend.

Always remember Sheila and Jeff as part of our childhood, good friends of my mum and dad, Roy and Marlene Stacey. So many fond memories of the Bendricks, the Dockers Club and living in Cadoxton. Jeff you will be missed by so many xxx

An amazing gentleman and uncle with the biggest heart of gold. I have beautiful memories of my uncle Jeff and auntie sheila growing up, from turning up Saturday mornings with out fail they would bring treats for me and my brothers always included a 2 finger kitKat and sweets.
Day out at Bristol Zoo was full of laughter, to all turning up Christmas mornings filling the house with festive cheer, and I've got to agree with my 2 brothers conker picking in sully and driving his car always filled us with giggles especially when i only seemed to turn the steering wheel right so we just went round and round in a circles. Uncle Jeff was definitely the king of crabbing and king of kindness.
Absolutely heart broken, but in my heart forever your gonna be missed by all especially your daughter Tracey and Son Andrew who you've passed your loving kind hearted traits onto. Miss and love you loads. Xxx
