Mac Loren Brown

Mac Loren Brown was born in Wichita, Kansas, September of 1951 to Ralph and Betty Brown. Mac stopped suffering from Glioblastoma on October 5, 2023 at 72 years old. At the time of his passing, he was at his home, surrounded by family, the sunset was spectacular, grandchildren were laughing and screaming with joy in the background, a plane was circling overhead and his wife and children were growing closer and closer together, tightly embracing with tears that were obviously brought on by a simultaneous acute allergic reaction.

Mac Brown is survived by you, the wonderfully tightly knit community known as Carpinteria. He made bonds with people all over the area as he was always striving to do his best with his “make the client happy” attitude. Never compromising on any project or cutting any corners he was always there for anyone that needed a smiling face, a hearty laugh and a bulldozer. There is more than one restaurant in the area with drinks named after him. He was Honorary Chair of the Avocado Festival in 2010. No matter where Mac traveled, he always loved Carpinteria best.

Mac Brown is survived by his closest friends (too many to name) with which he would enjoy many different activities with that would range from flying air planes, big parties, weekend tractor work, small parties, water skiing, medium parties, shooting guns, impromptu parties, watch NASCAR and quiet dinner parties.

Mac Brown is survived by his company, Mac Brown Excavating. His employees were not just employees, he treated them as family, with love and respect. He was always there to help them and encouraged them to grow.

Mac Brown is survived by his mother, Betty (96), and two sisters and their families. Sister: Mary-Louise [Richard] with children Laura [Tom] and Rick [Casey]. Sister: Elizabeth [Robbie] with children Thomas [Carly], Nick [Kelsey] and Heidi. with whom he was always loving and helping with anything he could. Most every weekend you would find Mac sitting on his mom’s deck with her and his sisters catching up on current family events and staring out at the sea watching the boats go by in anticipation of the next beautiful sunset.

Mac Brown met Debbie and her two kids Frank [Kristin] and Mike [Jessica] in 1977 and they have been inseparable ever since. Married over the phone, Mac and Debbie lived life to the fullest and two more children were brought into this world Melissa [Rob] and Will [Sarah].
