April 21,1964-February 26, 2024
Michael (Mike) Brown (Barrington) of Windsor, Colorado passed away on February 26, 2024. Michael was born on April 21, 1964, to Charles and Vinita Brown. His most cherished childhood memories come from the time he helped on his grandfather’s ranch near Folsom, NM, and helped his mother raise chickens and pigs. He spent his school years at Des Moines, NM Schools, and graduated in May 1982. After high school, Mike married Lisa Norton from Raton, who he was with for 17 years. Mike married Teresa Barrington on August 15, 2019. Teresa was resolved to keep her last name, so Mike changed his last name to match hers.
Mike will be remembered by many for his kind heart, his excellent construction skills, and his willingness to help anyone at any time.
Mike is survived by his wife, Teresa Barrington of Windsor, CO, his Father-Charles Brown (Roberta) of Trinidad, CO, his Mother-Vinita Brown of Folsom, NM, two sisters-Sally Brown (Larry Sandoval) of Raton, NM, Cristy Brown (Mike Spink) of Pueblo, CO, a half-brother Brian Brown of Trinidad, CO, a half-sister Megan Wilson of Trinidad, CO, a step-sister Bonnie Monteleone (Tony) of Seattle, WA, several aunts uncles, numerous cousins, two nieces and one nephew. Mike was preceded in death by his grandparents, Tom and Jean Brown and Othal and Marie Littrell and Great Uncle Emmitt Littrell, who all played special parts in his life, as well as other aunts and uncles.
