Jawann,

Even though you have passed away, you still keeping touching the lives of many. A lot of people around here have changed a lot of their ways to learn from you and your strength. Things have not gone unappreacited as they had before. Life is valued much more. You are such an amazing person, and your fight has taught us all something.

God bless you, you will forever be missed.

I did know Jawann...and had the great honor of graduating MRHS with him in 2005. He was a well loved and respected member of my graduating class. I cannot think of one person who had a conflict with him. He touched many of our lives by being who he was....a respectable young man who saw everyone as people. He will be missed, and on behalf of my graduating class, we all say thank you to Jawann for inspiring us all through the years. Thank you and God bless you Jawann

Pickle,

The point was not to praise Dr. O'Malley but to contrast him with Jawann Brown.

That such a young and humble man could attain a greater stature than the "most powerful man in Aberdeen" is not only an extraordinary accomplishment but a point of humility for the rest of us.

Aberdeener,

I have not been on your site in a while and would like to commend you in remembering Juwann Brown.

I am, however, a bit confused by the love fest you have for Dr. O'Malley. I can appreciate that you thought it was a nice gesture for him to show up for the service, but why would you include it in this post? If you were trying to give credit to a member of the School District for attending the service, then you really ought to include all of the administrators, teachers, secretaries and instructional assistants that were in attendance.

There really was no reason for you to include the information about Dr. O'Malley in this post.

To the family and friends of Jawaan...

Although I did not know Jawaan, I am inspired by all the wonderful tributes, stories and memories that were shared about this wonderful, thoughtful and courageous young man. I wish I had the privilege to have known him. I wish he had won his battle with leukemia. And I wish he had the opportunity to graduate college and plan for his future. Sometimes in life, it is so hard to understand why things happen the way the do. The pain and sadness of losing someone, in the prime of their life, is so hard for many of us to understand. My wish for you today is that the thoughts and prayers of this community, for you and Jawaan, will help you though this very sad and difficult time. I wish you the solace, peace and hope, that the legacy Jawaan left with all those who were so blessed to have known him, will sustain you today, tomorrow and in the future. May God Bless Jawann, and all those touched by this special young man. Jawaan will always have a place in the hearts of all those he touched.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lisa, Charles, Shardea and the entire Brown family: Jawann was a unique young man. He has definitely left his mark in this world. Although his life was shorter than anticipated, he touched so many lives. Let us try to celebrate the beautiful times we had with him and his love of life. He will be truly missed by all. I know he will be watching over all of his loved ones and will be forever in our hearts! God Bless Jawann and may perpetual light shine upon him.

I do not know the entire Brown family, however, I know Jawann's Mom and she is the salt of the Earth. Lisa is a dedicated, loving mother and my heart, tears and prayers go out to her and the her family on this Mother's SAy, and for a long time to come.

While I did not know this young man I will pray for him tonight. I hope that my prayers will give some solace to his family during this difficult time. I was unable to give blood myself due to a heart ailment and would like to thank those who did give their blood in this valiant effort to help this young man.

On this Mothers Day I will say a prayer for the young mans mother and all of the mothers who have lost sons in such a way. I will also ask all of you to remember the mothers who lost sons in all of the wars America has been involved in. Their sons truly paid the price for all of us to live free.

God Bless Jawann Brown
