Layne Grayson Brown
passed away unexpectedly
and peacefully on Friday,
October 28, 2022, in his
bed at home in Palisade,
Colorado. He was 88 years
old.
Layne was born in Hornick, Iowa, on September 16,
1934, to Earl F. Brown and Iila Brown. He graduated
from Thomas Jefferson High School in Council Bluffs,
Iowa. Layne joined the Navy and trained as an air traffic
controller.
He married his high school sweetheart, Marian L.
Teague in Council Bluffs on January 14, 1954. Layne
and Marian moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey, where
they lived until his discharge in 1958. They had four
boys, Layne Jr. (Skip) and Kevin were born while
they were in New Jersey. Blake and Dirk were born in
Denver, Colorado. Layne worked in Denver as an Air
Traffic Controller for the F.A.A.
In 1968, Layne and Marian moved to Palisade,
Colorado where he lived until his death. After his
retirement from the F.A.A., he turned the homestead
into the Cowpoke Peach Ranch. Layne and Marian
loved Palisade and the Grand Valley and never wanted
to live anywhere else.
Layne is survived by his sister, Caroline; his wife,
Marian and his four sons; Skip (Betty), Kevin (Debbie),
Blake (Kathy), Dirk (Lesley). He had ten grandchildren,
and thirteen great grandchildren, and numerous nieces
and nephews. The world won’t be the same without
Layne in it. He was a dedicated and loving husband,
father, grandfather, and great grandfather. If he touched
your life, you were changed forever. He will be missed
forever and a day.
In Layne’s own words, “My life was shaped by all
the love and caring I received from birth to death and
it was huge!”
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Palisade
Community Center on Nov. 26th, from 2:00 pm - 4:00
