Alfred L. Brown, 87, of Apache, Oklahoma passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family, Friday, November 19, 2021.

Alfred was born at Fort Sill, Oklahoma on June 16, 1934 to Jack B. and Elizabeth (Young) Brown. Alfred was from a military family and lived in different locations, some of those were, Cement, Oklahoma, Fort Logan, Colorado, Cache, Oklahoma and Lawton, Oklahoma. Alfred drove a truck for many years with different companies. He was employed with Lawton Public Schools for 30 years from 1971-2001. He met Carol Jean Allen on a blind date and were later married on July 31, 1964 in Wichita Falls, Texas. From this marriage was born Sunita Burchett, Jeff Brown, and Kristi Woodhouse.

Alfred liked the simple pleasures of life. He enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching old movies and classic tv shows such as Perry Mason, Adam-12, and Gomer Pyle. He had a vast collection of old movies, and his favorite actor was John Wayne. He loved wearing his John Wayne jacket and hat. He enjoyed lounging in his recliner watching tv with his eyes shut. If you dared to change the tv channel when you thought he was asleep, he would quickly say, "I'm watching that!" He cherished his American Rifleman magazines and he loved to doodle and draw on the newspaper and magazine pages, or even the old TV Guide . He also had a collection of a variety of guns.

Alfred was always prepared. He never went anywhere without his flashlight, his hat, and his flyswatter. He frequently gave his wife and children flashlights and calendars as gifts to ensure they were all prepared. In his younger years Alfred rode a motorcycle with friends and kept his leather motorcycle jacket and gear in the garage for many years. Alfred enjoyed hunting with friends and family especially in eastern Oklahoma.

Alfred is survived by his wife of the home, three children, two daughters, Sunita Burchett of Oklahoma City and Kristi Woodhouse of Irving, Texas, one son, Jeff Brown and fiancé Terri Jacobson of Joplin, Missouri, three grandchildren, Jordan Woodhouse of Puyallup, Washington, Devin Burchett of Oklahoma City, and Aeria Brown of Lansing, Michigan, one brother, Donald Y.
