It was with great sorrow that I learned of Bert's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Linda and the entire Brown family. Bert was always such a loyal friend and employee. I remember well Bert telling me about his presenting and getting approved in the Ruston Jaycees to bestow "Life Time Membership" into the club. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Chip Rainwater

Mr Bert will be missed by so many. He made a profound impact on me as a young lady. I will forever miss him calling me "Doona" and hearing him laugh at his own silly stories. (He always had a story) From his epic hayrides to his sweet smile, Mr. Bert was a man about fun. Prayers for Ms Linda, Holly B, Wes and Lizzy and their entire family. Thank you Mr Bert and until we meet again!
Paul Spears left a message on November 30, 2022:
So sorry to hear of the passing of Bert. I knew Bert as a young man in high school and living at home with his parents. Later I got to know Bert as a serious businessman working at Farmerville Motors. Bert enjoyed a good joke though. Condolences to all his family and friends.
