Kurt moved to Graham in 1990 and spent his life as a chiropractor, endeavoring to help those in pain regardless of their ability to pay.
If Kurt Brown could speak to us today he would not ask for a glowing obituary. He would refuse to allow his name spread over the pages of his own home newspaper.

Typical of his desire to be of service to others, Kurt requested that his body be donated for research. Arrangements have been made with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Kurt is survived by his loving wife of nearly 30 years, Lori, of Graham; his devoted son, John Brown and daughter-in-law Allie of San Antonio and by a grandson, William Kurt Brown.

As a child, she would pick up struggling earthworms from sidewalk puddles after rainstorms and place them in the grass.
Nancy was a spiritual person who believed in miracles and the basic goodness of all. She had a zest for life and viewed it as a supreme adventure. Nancy's greatest love was and is her daughter Adriana, of whom she was justifiably proud. Nancy was a loyal and loving mother, sister and friend. She is sure to be welcomed to the next life with love and adoration by all creatures great and small.
Nancy is preceded in death by her parents, Nicholas and Ruth (Otto) Ustick of Naples, New York.
She is survived by her daughter, Adriana, age 16; siblings, Kathleen Leonardson (husband Daniel Leonardson) of Marblehead, Mass., and Douglas Ustick (wife Sandy Astrup Ustick) of Houston; four nieces and a nephew; and many dear and supportive friends, including Kristin Ruth and Kim Baxter.
A memorial service is planned for a later date.
Donations in memory of Nancy may be made to the college fund for her daughter, Adriana, c/o Estate of Nancy Ustick, Attn: D. Ustick, 6363 Woodway Dr., Ste. 730, Houston, TX 77057, or to the animal shelter of your choice.
