Edward S. Brown

Edward S. Brown, 60, of Matawan, New Jersey, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, May 12, 2019.  Edward was born on June 12, 1958 in Long Branch, New Jersey and grew up in Union Beach.  On November 12, 1977, Edward and his high school sweetheart, Carol, were married and began their lives together.  For the past 24 years they have lived in Matawan, New Jersey, where they raised their family.  Edward began his career as Maintenance Director of Arnold Walter Nursing Home in Hazlet/Holmdel on March 14, 1988.  He was extremely dedicated to his job and it was a very important part of his life.  Edward also enjoyed camping and fishing in his spare time.  Most of all, Edward always had a very positive and uplifting spirit, had a great sense of humor, and was the life of the party.
