“Don’t cry for me, for I go

where music is born” (JS Bach)

Ralph Kevin Browne completed his life’s work on Sunday, January 5, 2020, at the age of 59 years. His larger-than-life persona and his musical legacy will not soon be forgotten. From 1982 through 2000, Ralph served in several pastorates. During the past eighteen years he established and operated Browne’s Musical Academy. He also founded Selah Singers, a community choir. Helping people find their own voice and to discover the rich repertoire of vocal music was his passion. Left to cherish his memory are his wife and best friend, Valerie Browne; his children, Andrew (Julie) and Adam (Danielle); sisters, Carol (Allan) Lennox, Shirley (Don) McIntosh and Wendy (Jim) Crouse; step-mom, Ardith Wolsey and sister-in-law, Joanne Browne. He will be fondly remembered by several nieces and nephews who will forever treasure his memory. Ralph will be remembered for his deep love of God and people.
