CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Funeral services are expected to take place Thursday for U.S. Border Patrol agent Brandon Brown, who was killed in a wrong-way crash on FM 70 near Chapman Ranch Road just over a week ago.
A celebration of the officer's life will be held on Thursday, Sept. 26 at Seaside Funeral Home Chapel. Family visitation will be held from 9:00-10:30 a.m. followed by a public viewing from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and a funeral service held immediately after.
The burial will take place at 2:30 p.m.
Sgt. Rob Mallory told 3NEWS on Wednesday that authorities are still investigating the incident at this time, but the other driver was released from the hospital with minor injuries following the accident.
Community members have rallied around Brown's family, as the Kingsville officer leaves behind a wife, four children and many other friends and family members.
A GoFundMe page was created to help cover financial costs in the wake of his absence. Within one day, it surpassed the original goal of $40,000. Organizers then moved the goal to $60,000. That goal has since been surpassed, and donations continue to make their way to the grieving family.
An obituary from the Seaside Funeral Home states that Brown was a caring a giving husband, father and provider who earned his degree in Criminal Justice and Spanish while playing as a defensive linebacker for Washington State University.
He then joined the Peace Corps after college.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to help the family through this time... https://gofund.me/4dc11eba
