With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Justin Lewis Brown "JB", on May 25, 2025. Born on August 1, 1987, Justin was a beloved son, brother, father, and friend who left an indelible mark on the lives of those who knew him.

A devoted son to Charles and Charlotte Brown, a caring brother to Kelli Golden (Scott) and Stephen Brown (Shayna), and a cherished father to Jane Marie Brown. Justin's love for his family was immeasurable. He is also survived by his nephew Tyler Golden, nieces Lana and Aria Brown—who affectionately called him Uncle Bleezy—his loving aunts Sue, Kathy, Cindy and numerous cousins. His heart was deeply connected to his soulmate, Rhianna Morris, who shared in his love of adventure and discovery.

Justin had a passion for cooking, always eager to try new recipes and share his creations with loved ones. He became an extremely talented Chef while working at SecretHandshake, Splash and Vault. As a musician, he found joy in music, letting melodies shape his experiences. Justin would try his hand at any instrument he came across and could play a song by ear. Practicing for and completing numerous marathons gave him strength and peace. He especially appreciated his time with the Spa City Pacers. He loved exploring the trails of Hot Springs and Lake Catherine. You could often find him sprinting up and down the mountains or enthusiastically guiding visitors through downtown Hot Springs. JB embodied an adventurous spirit that was both contagious and inspiring. He had an incredible gift for conversation—balancing humor and depth effortlessly—bringing laughter, insight and warmth to those around him.

His adventurous soul and boundless curiosity will forever inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered for the love, laughter, and kindness he shared with so many.

A Celebration of Life will take place on June 9th at the Splash Wine Bar, 325 Ouachita Ave, Hot Springs from 5-8pm.
