Steven Roy Brown Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Steven Roy Brown passed away Wednesday afternoon at his home in Butte surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Butte on Wednesday, February 22, 1961 to William and Clara (Neighbor) Brown. Steve attended schools in Butte, graduating from Butte High School in 1980. He also attended Butte Vo-Tech where he earned a certificate in electronics. He played football, basketball, and baseball while in school and was an avid Indianapolis Colts fan. Steve worked for ADT Security from 2000 to 2005 and Bresnan Communications which later became Charter Communications from 2005 to 2016. He enjoyed his work and was always there to help give a hand to his coworkers when needed. He married Angela Nye in Butte on May 2, 2016, and she survives. Also surviving are his daughters and son-in-law Stefanie Jo Brown and Kaytlyn and Zach Cunningham, grandsons Matthew Rawson and Benjamin Cunningham all of Butte, step-children, Kody Mansur of Missoula and Chase Steyh of Deer Lodge. Also surviving are his sisters and brothers-in-law, Becky and Ray Aikens of Las Vegas, NV, Kari and Chris Hauge of Stavanger, Norway, brothers and sisters-in-law, William and Mary Brown of Henderson, NV and James and Wendy Brown of Butte. Other survivors include his uncle, James Neighbor, his father-in-law and mother-in-law Ted and Karla Nye, and sister-in-law Audie Nye, of Butte, numerous nieces and nephews and lastly, her friend and "brother from another mother", Kenny Peterson of Kennewick, Washington. He is preceded in death by his father William in 1992 and his mother, Clara in 2014. Steve had a love for music and enjoyed playing the blues and jazz guitar. He also played in many bands in the 80’s and 90’s and his love for music was evident if you spent time in his home where his studio housed all his instruments and recording equipment. He played frequently for Angela and had jam sessions on several occasions with his brother, nephews, and step-sons. His daughters were his world and there wasn’t a day that didn’t go by that he was calling or texting them to let them know he loved them. He was very proud of his two little girls and the wonderful women they have become. Steve enjoyed fishing and especially when he took Matthew along. He loved being Matthew and Ben’s Papa and enjoyed time spent with them. Steve was very proud of his hometown. He had an extensive knowledge of Butte and he could answer all your history questions. He never lost faith in Butte’s potential to grow and boom again. He always held firm in his belief that Butte is going places and Steve was the very definition of a Butte Boy. It wouldn’t be right if his next past time was not mentioned, that being the 2011 Dodge Challenger, that you could see him driving around town in. He loved his car! He and Angela owned another Challenger and took many trips together in their cars, living fast.
