John Olen Brown, Sr., of Sheridan, Arkansas was born December 8, 1928 in Sparkman, Arkansas, the son of the late Wilburn Dan and Willie Jo Walker Brown. He was a proud member of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Sheridan. He was a true “gentleman”, and was a well-respected business man. Olen enjoyed hunting and fishing and spending time outdoors. However, his greatest joy was his family. He didn’t just make a living, he made a life. He taught his family the value of “handshake” deals and that your word and your reputation was more important than anything. He was a proud Christian man who gave God the Glory for any achievements in his life. He will be missed by so many people, but he leaves behind a rich legacy of love and integrity, that honors his memory.
