In case you have not heard, Coach Brown (Philo High School) lost his battle with cancer this week.

Here is part of the obituary from the Zanesville Times Recorder:

Matthew Mark Brown

ZANESVILLE: Matthew Mark Brown, 32, of Zanesville passed away Sunday March 6, 2016 at Genesis Hospital. He was born July 9, 1983.

Someone so special as Matthew is a blessing to his family. He was incredibly loved by all those who came into contact with him. He was an encourager, a loyal friend, and shared his love of life with everyone. Knowing Matthew was a privilege and he was a fantastic role model to all of his soccer players, staff and students. His everlasting positive outlook on life was something from which everyone benefited by knowing him. Matthew will forever be loved and remembered for his laugh and sense of humor that could brighten anyone's day. A son, a brother, a father, a husband, a friend, who will forever be remembered, loved and honored.

May God have a place for this man at the table in heaven!
