ALLIANCE - John Lee Brown, 33, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, July 28 at Alliance Community Hospital. He was born on November 11, 1981 in Salem, the son of John D. Brown and Diana Zarnosky Brown Harroff. He graduated from Crestview Local High School. John, known affectionately as Lee by many, also graduated from TDDS Technical Institute with a CDL truck driving license. He currently was employed as a service writer at Montrose Ford in Alliance, where he earned employee of the month for May. Also, he previously worked as a service writer at Columbiana Ford, a parts manager for Pep Boys and Auto Zone, briefly drove truck at Werner Trucking Company, and his favorite job was an assistant manager for his Dad at John's Complete Auto in Salem. John enjoyed the outdoors and lived life to the fullest. He worked on his guns, played some guitar and took care of his vehicles - his Mustang and F-150, and going fishing. He loved animals and never missed an opportunity to get together with his family, whether it was a cook-out, birthday party, going to Summit or Quaker; and he loved watching the spring Super Nationals and drag racing.
