Earl G. Brown

Born on July 26, 1952, in Oakland, California, Earl grew up in Everett, Massachusetts. He proudly served in the United States Air Force from 1971 to 1975 and also served for six years in the United States Naval Reserve. His commitment to serving his country was an important part of his life. Following his military service, Earl earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics with a minor in Finance from Bentley College and went on to build a successful career, serving as a Vice President at HSBC Bank, working for Honeywell Technologies, and later working in the Finance Department for the City of Cape Coral, Florida.

During his time with the city, Earl formed many lasting friendships with his female coworkers, who affectionately called themselves “Earl’s Girls.” These friendships were a special part of his life and a wonderful reminder of the connections he made wherever he went.

Earl was a devoted Christian whose faith was an important part of his life. He was an active member of The First Christian Church in Cape Coral, Florida, where he formed many meaningful friendships and became part of a loving church community. His faith and the friendships he cherished there were an important part of his life.

Earl was a man who always had a story to tell. No matter the subject or occasion, he seemed to have a story or an experience to share. His family and friends will remember his gift for storytelling, his unique personality, and the conversations and memories that made time spent with him special.

A devoted Boston Red Sox fan, Earl remained loyal to his beloved team through every season. He was equally faithful to the Buffalo Bills, cheering them on with unwavering enthusiasm. He also enjoyed hunting and collecting guns, hobbies that reflected some of his personal interests.

Family was an important part of Earl’s life, and he leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory. He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Kristen, whose sudden passing last year was a heartbreaking loss for the family, as well as his father, Earl L. Brown, and his mother, Patricia (Trujillo) Brown.

Earl is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Hadley, and her husband, Geoff, of Massachusetts, and their children, Addison and Lincoln; his son, Joshua Brown, and his wife, Megan, of Hawaii, and their daughter, Lilly; and his son, Dan Brown, and his wife, Danielle, of Florida, and their children, Connor, Caleb, Ayden and his wife Antonella.

Earl is also remembered by his former wives, Marie Belmore of Massachusetts, the mother of his children Jennifer and Joshua, and Kate Nixon of Florida, the mother of his children Dan and Kristen. They each shared important chapters of Earl’s life and family history.

Earl is also survived by his sister, Viola Solano, of Connecticut, and her daughters, Lisa and Lori; his brother, Carl Brown, of Rhode Island, and his children, Jason, Carla, and Adrianna; and his sister, Patricia Hazard, and her husband, Allen, of Rhode Island, and their children, Justin, Michael, AJ, and Victoria. Earl was also preceded in death by his younger brother, Mark Brown, who passed away at just three years old.

Earl’s life was shaped by his service to his country, his professional accomplishments, his faith, his passions, and, most importantly, the family and friends who shared in his journey. His stories will continue to be told, his beloved teams will continue to play, and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Earl will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of being part of his life.

A memorial service for Earl will be held on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at First Christian Church, 2620 Country Club Blvd., Cape Coral, FL 33904. All friends and family are welcome to attend. Interment will take place at South Florida National Cemetery at a later date.
