An obituary is someone’s last hurrah. Whether it’s a modest list of the milestones in a life or a sprawling patchwork of events, traits, habits and hobbies, your obituary is your biography.
Your story isn’t only going to be read by friends and family members. Along with the police blotter, obituaries are the most widely read section of a newspaper. We want to read about how other people have lived, because we are all in the process of deciding how we should live. Here is a list of those Claremonters who passed in 2014.
Gary Jason Brown of Roseville, California died of severe coronary artery disease just over a year ago on December 2, 2013. He was 51.
