Steven Bradshaw Brown, age 66, of Memphis, Tennessee passed away on Tuesday May 25, 2021. He was born on June 7, 1954 in Knoxville, Tennessee to William R. Brown and Julia B. Brown. Steve is survived by his siblings; David Brown (Diane), Sheryl Adler, Mark Brown (Ginger), and Michelle Brown McMillen (Todd); three children; Eric Brown (Katherine), Gregory Brown (Jenn), Lisa Schmidt (Josh); their mother and closest companion, Bonnie B. Brown; and eight grandchildren; Ella Brown, Madyson Schmidt, Maya Schmidt, Charly Kate Schmidt, Harper Brown, Tyler Brown, Bode Schmidt, and Macy Brown. Steve grew up in Memphis, graduated from White Station High School and ‘made memories’ at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He was a member of Crossroads Baptist Church in Eads, TN. He enjoyed snow skiing, family beach vacations, golfing, and having fun spoiling his grandkids. Steve also enjoyed cooking where his culinary prowess was most often represented by his world-famous beignets, perfectly-cooked steaks, and home-made chocolate-marshmallow ice cream. Steve started his career as a surgical assistant at Saint Joseph and Saint Francis Hospitals in Memphis, Tennessee and progressed to a sales role at General Medical before becoming an orthopaedic sales representative for Smith & Nephew. Steve was a top sales producer for many years and was highly respected for his technical competency both in and out of the operating room. Steve was also instrumental in aiding in the development of new and innovative devices for trauma and reconstructive surgery. Steve was loved and admired by so many and truly ‘never met a stranger’. While suffering a number of health challenges throughout his life, his positive attitude and fighting spirit were an encouragement to all those around him. His family is most comforted by the fact that his body is now fully restored. The family will receive friends and family on June 12, 2021 at 10am at Crossroads Baptist Church in Eads, TN followed by a Celebration of Life service at 11am. A private graveside service will follow for immediate family members only. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to The Campbell Foundation of Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics.
