Brownie Holloway Heiskell, 81, was born on August 15, 1940, and passed from this old world to his brand-new home in heaven on Friday morning, November 12, 2021.

He is survived by his loving family, and precious grandchild, Cameron Stone Reeves, who was the apple of his eye. Cameron brought him much joy and happiness. Cameron loved his papa so much. Brownie is also survived by his two children, Bryan Heiskell and Angela Reeves, who he loved very much, and beloved wife, Frances Heiskell, to whom he was happily married for 57 years.

Brownie worked at DuPont where he retired after 40 years and served in the Army National Guard. He attended and was a member of Calvary Baptist Church where he met, and made many friends. He will always be remembered by his loving nature and his love for Jesus Christ.

Conducting the services will be Pastor Greg Powell and John Bennudriti. Music during the services will be provided by Mike Hixson.

He never looked for praises

He was never one to boast

He just went on quietly working

For the ones he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken

His wants were very few

And most of the time his worries

Went unspoken too.

He was there... A firm foundation

Through all our storms of life

A sturdy Hand to hold on to

In times of stress and strife.

A true friend we could turn to

When times were good or bad

One of our greatest blessings

The man that we called Dad

Arrangements are by the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory, and Florist, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson, Tn. 37343.
