WILMINGTON — Christopher Charles Brown, 51, of Wilmington, NC, died January 27, 2022, at New Hanover Regional Medical Center.
Chris was born June 3, 1970, in Wilmington, NC, son of the late Rose Ann Woodruff and Charles Odell Woodruff and grandson of the late LeRoy and Bettie Brown. His brother, David and uncle, Charles L. Brown, also preceded him in death.
He is survived by his sister, Lisa Woodruff of Columbus, Ohio; a special niece, Autumn Rose Keeling of Asheboro, NC; uncle, Glenn Brown (Linda) of Wilmington, NC; aunts, Sandy Jenkins of Columbus, SC and Sylvia Quinn of Leland, NC and niece Sienna Lovett of Raleigh. Close friends who feel like family include David and Sherry Lovett and Mike Wells of Wilmington, NC.
Chris lived his entire life in Wilmington and graduated from Hoggard High School. He was employed by Smart Start Ignition Interlock of Wilmington.
He was a lifetime fan of the UNC Tarheels. We are hoping he was met by Dean Smith with a handshake. He was a passionate Parrot Head and enjoyed tailgating at Jimmy Buffet concerts with friends. Chris was also an avid reader.
