Lawrence Paul Brown, 64, died in the comfort of his home early Tuesday morning with his family by his side. Born on June 12, 1960 to Melvin and Jean Brown in Bangor, ME, he had been a resident of Syracuse for more than 40 years.
Larry was a a graduate of Dalhousie University and The University of Maine School of Law. He was a respected attorney with a practice based in Bridgeport. His career started as an attorney for The Madison County Department of Social Services, he then established his private practice. He was a former judge for the Town of Sullivan. He was a member of Temple Concord, a former President of the Men’s club of the Temple, and a member of the Madison and Onondaga County Bar Associations.
Larry was an avid traveler. He was able to eat his way through local cuisines in China, Russia, India, Germany, France and more. Up until his final days he could be found watching YouTube videos from food bloggers around the world. Larry loved to travel, but his favorite times were around the dinner table with his family~ always planning the next meal, and in true Larry Brown form always asked “what’s for dessert”.
With deep commitments to civil rights and social justice, Larry would take pride in his ability to time his passing to coincide with the end of Joe Biden’s term as President.
His family includes his wife Christine; their children Joshua (Rachel Kelemen),
Noah (Fiance Haley VanOverbeck), Daniel (Genevieve Micheletti),Zana, Miriam, Jana (Jan Kolbe)Taggatz; Grandsons Gil, and Oren; his brothers Ron (Mindy Carter)Ashkenasy, and Peter (Ena) Brown; his sisters-in-law Terri Fletcher, and Sandra (Mark McGrath) Fletcher; and his brother-in-law Edwin (Linda) Fletcher.
Funeral services will be on Sunday the 26th at Temple Concord, 450 Kimber Road at 3:30 PM. Friends may visit with the family immediately prior to the service at the Temple from 2:30-3:30PM
Contributions in lieu of flowers to perpetuate his memory may be made to your local food bank or Hospice of CNY. Lawrence’s family encourages you to honor his memory by enjoying your favorite pastry~ his love of his family could only be matched by his enthusiasm for elephant ears, Junior’s cheesecake, and Costco’s $5.99 pumpkin pie.

I am writing to express my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences. Mr. Brown was more than just an attorney to me—he was a guiding light during one of the most difficult times in my life. Because of his dedication, belief in justice, and tireless effort on my behalf, I was given a second chance. I am free today and able to be with my children, and for that, I will always carry deep gratitude and respect in my heart. His work gave me back my life—and gave my children their parent back. Mr.Brown made a lasting impact not only on my case but on my soul. I will never forget his kindness, his strength, and the way he stood for what was right. Please know that you are in my thoughts, and I mourn this loss with you. May he rest in peace, and may you find comfort in knowing how many lives he touched, including mine. With deepest sympathy, Iesha Miller
