Obituary
MOUNT HOREB / MINERAL POINT-Gary R. Brown, age 62, of Mineral Point, passed away on Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2019, at Agrace HospiceCare from cancer and not a jealous husband.
He was born on July 15, 1957, in Madison, Wis. to Laurell and Helena (Puls) Brown. He graduated from Mount Horeb High School in 1975. Gary lived in Mount Horeb until 2004 when he sold his house and Mt. Horeb Liquor and bought the Old Lumberyard in Mineral Point. He renovated the lumberyard in order to display his passion of collecting. He had collected and displayed over 20,000 brewery items including bottles, cans, signs and tappers from the past 50 years. In the last ten years, he added over 12,000 miniature cars to his collection.
Gary is survived by his best friend and Yorkie, Aba; sister, Bonny Laufenberg of Pardeeville; brother, Terry (Patty) Brown of Barneveld; two nephews; and three nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents; and infant brother, Barry.
The family would like to thank Agrace HospiceCare and Upland Hills Hospice and Hospital for their care of Gary. Also, the family would like to say a special thank you to Tony and his family for being such wonderful neighbors.
No services will be held per his wishes. Memorials may be made to the family to be determined at a later date. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

Thanks to everyone who helped and supported Gary these past few months. It's not easy to watch cancer take the life of a patient, co-worker, neighbor, friend, or family member. Thank you for the courage and patience shown to Gary. Warm regards. Alan

You were a great manager of the Trioliet warehouse in North America. Your knowledge of the products and the support of the dealers and the customers were of great importance. It is sad that you have died far to young after a terrible disease. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace. Robert Liet

Gary and I were high school classmates at MoHo high school. While not close, I considered him my friend. Gary has his own opinion of things and his sarcastic (I took it to be sarcastic) comments were humorous and enjoyable. You knew where Gary stood on things. Cancer sucks. R.I.P.
