It is with a heavy heart that we share with you that John Brown went home to be with his Maker earlier this morning.
John retired from the United States Marine Corp and served as Scoutmaster for Troop 201 in Beaufort for several decades. Under his leadership he ensured many scouts including his two grandsons Kenny and Kyle Warthen (both Vigil Honor recipients) both could be a part of the Scouting Program. John was bestowed the Vigil name Tghanchsuwi Machque which is interpreted as Kind Bear in 2006. Anyone who knew John would tell you this was a most fitting name.
We will dedicate this year's Vigil Honor Call Out Ceremony in his memory.
Please keep Kenny and Kyle Warthen and the entire Brown family in your prayers. We will share information concerning funeral arrangements as they become available.
