Brown worked in our pet store while he was at Appalachian St. He was an excellent worker and dear friend. He called us his mountain family. Our prayers and sincere condolences to his family. He was a fine man.
Brown will surely be missed. My prayers go out to his family, friends & co-workers. My daughter and I had the pleasure of knowing him through her TWC meetings. He was always full of information & very helpful to her. God Bless
I am so honored to have known Brown Chapman and work alongside him at TWC these last several years. I knew him to be quiet natured and a dedicated VR Counselor, someone I looked up to for his expertise and respected him for the added difficulty of being transitional. Those early days had us searching for better technologies to make his job easier. He was a tall fella with a big heart, sometimes things don’t seem fair.
His absence from us is felt, things will never quite be the same. My heartfelt prayers and support go out to Marie and their family. May the Lord comfort your hearts as you pass through this season, may He help you focus on the joys you shared together as it helps overcome the pain of loss.
Brown Chapman may no longer be with us, but he lives on in each of you. I am sad he is gone and I will no longer be able to chat with him in this life, but I am so very grateful for the times I did have. Thank you Lord for Brown Chapman, I am a better man having known him. Help us all to engage each day, while it is called Today.

Sending prayers, love and condolences to Marie and all of the family, friends and colleagues of a wonderful man.
I had the pleasure of working with Brown for almost 12 years, and it truly was a pleasure working with him. He cared for and loved his family and the customers he served. I will never forget the fun we had when we traveled together. Brown, you are and will be missed. You were a great asset to the Vocational Rehabilitation family. Marie, Indigo, Andrew, and Caleb may the God of peace be your comfort, strength, peace, and sustainer for this journey.
My sincere condolences and prayers to Mrs. Marie Chapman and Family! Port Arthur ISD Memorial High School Transition and Vocational Services are going to miss a very valuable Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, Mr. Brown Chapman. My granddaughter was his customer from 2016-2023. He was an awesome person and colleague. I’m going to miss him greatly. May Mr. Brown Chapman rest peacefully in Heaven.
I was Brown’s Assistant for not very long, but I enjoyed my time working with him I admired his work ethic and how he cared so much for all his students and customers to be successful I send my condolences and prayers to Marie and the entire family He will definitely be missed
Marie, my prayers and sympathy for you and your family. May your husband rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus and perpetual light shine upon him.
Dear Chapman Family,
We were saddened to learn of the passing of Brown late last week. Please know Marie and each of you are in our thoughts during this difficult time. Brown was assigned to Lumberton many years ago, and as such, had the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many Lumberton students. We extend our deepest sympathies to all that worked with and knew him. We know he will be missed by many.

Brown was an expert at his job no other way to describe it. I had the pleasure of working with him over a few years I was sent to Beaumont to help with a caseload there. There was never a situation he did not have a solution to. He was such a kind person and although I did not see him much the last few years since we went to more virtual meetings I always aspired to have the knowledge, patience and wisdom of Brown. He will be missed. Sending thoughts to Marie and the entire family.
I had the pleasure of working with Brown when I was the Regional Transition Specialist for Region IV VR. I was very impressed with his professionalism and the effort he put forth working with his schools and his students. He will be greatly missed! Marie, you, your children, your grandson and all of your extended family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I was privileged to work with Brown for 20+ yrs. The adoration he had for his family and passion for his work is truly remarkable. I loved him like a big brother. He will be missed sorely but I take comfort in knowing he had a relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so it’s not good bye but see yah later. God is faithful!
May God comfort and keep you all with peace. Brown faithfully told everyone to have a Good Morning and have a nice day that meant a lot. It made a person’s day. Be blessed his family and friends.
Brown, I enjoyed working with you as VRC in Beaumont office. Glad you were able to join me for my son’s Cameroon, African wedding in Houston. Was great to share work and fun times with you. You done good, friend.
Marie and family,
Brown was always kind to me and often spoke of how he enjoyed serving students. Please accept my sincere condolences. I am thinking of you all and praying for your strength and comfort during this difficult time.
Marie and Brown Chapman family,
Our deepest condolences go out to you and your loved ones during this difficult time. The team at Opportunity Now and the XP Synergy Family are thinking of you and keeping you in our thoughts and intentional prayers.
We hope that the cherished memories you hold of Brown will provide some comfort as you grieve his loss.
Marie, indigo, Andrew I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and with all your family.
I sure miss the good old days when the group of transition counselors got to meet up in Austin a few times a year at the Embassy and share our stories and bond over some good BBQ! Brown was always the protector, driving Patrice and me around Austin. He always knew the best places to go for dinner! His positivity was contagious as well as his love for his wife and family! He will be greatly missed! Continued prayers for all who loved him.
I was honored and blessed to work with Brown. He was one of the most caring and passionate professional I was privileged to work with. His love for his family was evident by his deeds and the pride he showed when talking about them. I am a better person for having known Brown. He will be missed.
I only met him once and it’s when me and indigo and few others came over to study while we were at Lamar. Mr. And Mrs. Chapman was so kind and welcoming to us and helped us so much that day. I’ll always remember that.
Words cannot express how saddened I am to hear of your passing Brown. You were a great man and always carried yourself in a respectful & professional manner. May your memories bring peace and comfort for your family, colleagues, and friends. Marie, I will keep you and your family lifted in prayers. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen! Please continue to hold unto God always… “For whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty…” ~ Psalm 91:1-2.
Marie and Family,
Brown and I met shortly after being hired into the TWC family in which he would stop into the Port Arthur office to meet with parents and students to support customers on their vocational endeavors. He was very kind and helpful when I had questions about work and had great life advice. I will miss him and remember our friendly talks about family, education, and life experiences.
Sending prayer and healing,
Dee
Brown Chapman will be missed by so many. Brown was a transition counselor for Vocational Rehabilitation and has served so many people with disabilities for over 25 years. He worked in our Beaumont office along with so many of his work family members. He touched the lives of many adults and students and had an impact that will be sorely missed. It is a sad day for family, friends and our staff as well. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace. Praise be to God, now and forever. Dennis
Marie and Family,
I only knew Brown in a professional capacity after I transferred to his old caseload in 2006. However, I appreciated his can-do attitude toward serving his customers. From my perspective, he leaves behind a legacy that will forever be etched in my mind, and that is, “I will serve my customers until my last dying breath.” He didn’t have to say it, but he showed it. This is a powerful testament of his character and commitment to serving individuals with disabilities. He’s gone too soon. I wish there was more time. I’m sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Marie and Indigo, I’m so sorry for your loss. Please know your family will be in my prayers.
Marie,
Claudia just told me about your husband and I want uou to know that I am so very sorry to hear about it. We have planned to be out of town and won’t be able to be at the funeral. Hope we can get together soon when you are up to it.
My prayers are being sent your way.
Love, Connie
Brown was always so patient and kind! I’ll never forget how he helped me learn to shoot. He was also a man of great faith. He is the definition of a good man. I know he has left a big hole in your hearts. I’m praying for your peace 😞🙏🏾🙏🏾
I had the privilege of hiring Brown as a rehabilitation counselor some 25 plus years ago. Brown always used each opportunity to serve his clients in every possible way. He was the type of counselor every person would want to serve their family member in need. Brown was kind, generous and very compassionate. He will be missed. Marie and family, I send my warmest condolences for your loss. God bless you and your family.
Brown was a dear friend through middle, high school and roommate at ASU. As already mentioned by others, he was a caring, compassionate, and the world lost a true gentleman. He loved his family and always was sharing what was going on with them. He will be greatly missed.
Dear Marie,
I am sorry for your loss. I know Brown will be greatly missed.
May he rest in the peace of Christ, and perpetual light shine upon him. I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort you and your family during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Mavis Fore
Best brother in law ever! His love and faith was enduring. It didn’t matter if you saw him often or once in a while, that smile was always contagious, and genuine. Marie, Andrew, Indigo, and Caleb, may your memories of Brown bring you peace and comfort. Your eldest sister (inside joke) Debra Lynn and Richard.
this has been a long journey.

Truly sorry for your loss. Please know that we will keep your family lifted in prayer.
With love, Amanda and Jodi Mitchell
Brown was one of the kindest men I have ever met. He was generous and compassionate to all. Throughout his life he helped not only students, but so many others. He truly was a gentle giant and will be missed by Carl and I so very much. May God’s love comfort you all.
Marie and family,
It is hard to believe I never be able to talk to Brown again. He was always larger than life with his wit, humor, compassion, faith, and dedication to his family. I am so glad he and I were able to work and travel together. He always saw the good first in situations and worked hard for the students he served. He will be missed by many. Prayers for you and family. Brown will continue to look upon us as he is flying high with the Angels.
