I’ve known Mike since he was 12 years old. I worked with him many days on his mother’s farm. In his latter days I knew him and he always with a smile on his face. My prayers are for his loved ones.

We worked with Mike Brown for around 28 years through snow storms, ice storms, truck strikes and truck wrecks. Mike was always there when called. He was the best live haul manager Tyson Foods at Shelbyville ever had or will have. RIP Mike. Larry R and Kathy Nunley (Nunley Poultry)
