Donnie Joe Brown, Sr., 59, of Moundsville, WV, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, October 12, 2026.
He was born on January 2, 1967, in Charleston, West Virginia, a son of the late Jimmy Edmond and Margaret Anna (Ray) Brown. Donnie was a dedicated painter and carpenter who took pride in his work throughout his life. He was a true people person, never meeting a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. His kindness and generosity touched the lives of many. Known to many as “Downtown Donnie Brown,” he leaves behind a legacy that lives on in a very special way through his granddaughter, affectionately known as “Downtown Lily Brown.”
In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by three siblings, Jeff “Moose”, Jim “Boogie” and Pat “Pebbles”.
Donnie is survived by his beloved son, Donnie Brown, Jr. and his wife, Kelly Brown; his significant other of 27 years, Deborah Moore; three grandchildren, Lily Brown, Ethan Bentley and Tyler Bentley; two step-children, Michael Tanner and Michelle Robinson and a large extended family.
The family would like to extend grateful appreciation to the House of the Carpenter for all of their support and assistance throughout the years.
