Louis Lee Brown, 63, of Charleroi, formerly of Cardale, passed away on May 18, 2022, at Penn Highlands Mon Valley Hospital.

Lou was a member of the Independent Pool League, an avid card player and DJ’d at weddings and other social events; he was known as “DJ Lou Brown” or even back in the day as “DJ Silk.” Lou loved gambling and his poker buddies, he enjoyed spending time with his wife, Rebecca, whom he loved dearly, and in his younger years he enjoyed playing basketball and running track. Lou had a larger-than-life personality; everyone who knew him loved him, which is why he had friends everywhere he went.
