Remembering Arvie Brown

Graveside services will be held for Arvie Brown, 92, on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 at 12:30 p.m. at the Northwest Louisiana Veterans Cemetery, 7970 Mike Clark Rd., Keithville, Louisiana. Officiating the service will be Pastor Jeff Lines.

Arvie was born on November 19, 1933 to Allen Brown and Mary Josephine Basco Brown Arvie in Otis, Louisiana and passed away on Thursday, January 22, 2026 in Shreveport.

Arvie served in the United States Army. He spent his career as a skilled carpenter specializing in floor installation. In his younger years, he found joy in fishing and hunting, embracing the outdoors whenever he could. As he grew older, he took comfort in classic Westerns, especially enjoying programs on the Western Channel such as Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger, and Death Valley Days.

Arvie is preceded in death by his parents; six sisters; and three brothers. Left to cherish his memory is his sister, Nela Kerry of Grand Cane, Louisiana; sister-in-law, Claudine Brown; brother-in-law, Billy Culver; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Arvie will be deeply missed, but we are at peace knowing that we will see him again someday.
