Louis Lee Brown, 63, of Charleroi, formerly of Cardale, passed away on May 18, 2022, at Penn Highlands Mon Valley Hospital. Born on June 17, 1958, Lou was the son of the late Christopher Mitchell and Mabel Brown. 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. Surviving to cherish his memory are his wife, Rebecca Ducoeur Brown; his stepchildren, Jacquie Bowers and Dalton Bowers; his closest siblings, Natalie Thompson and Darren Keith (Ronye) Ford; and his other siblings, Chris Lee Mitchell, Alan Mitchell, Janet Mitchell and Darrell Ford; his closest nephews, J.R. Groomes and Dre Ford; and numerous other siblings, nieces and nephews.
