Courtney I. Brown

Courtney Isabella Brown of Bellbrook, Ohio passed away Sunday March 2nd, 2025 at 28 years old. She was born September 1st, 1996 in Dayton, Ohio to her mother Barbara Brown and her father Dwayne Brown. Courtney loved all things spooky and dark, and thrived during the Halloween season. On a stormy, gloomy day you could find her snuggled up with a book and a candle going. Courtney felt strongly connected to nature, and enjoyed taking photos of sunrises, sunsets, and the moon in all of its phases. Known as “CoCo” to her younger sisters, niece, and nephews; she valued time with her family and loved ones. She was always there for birthdays, holidays, and even the births of her newest nephews. She was a proud Aunt. She believed in taking photos of every moment, proving to everyone that you never know what could happen tomorrow. She was a loyal and committed person to strengthening all of the meaningful connections in her life.

Courtney struggled in life with addiction, and she never hid that from anyone. She will never be defined by her addiction, instead honored for her strength while fighting this disease. Courtney was a strong, beautiful, and intelligent young woman. She could light up the room with her radiant smile and contagious laugh, even through battling her own demons most couldn’t imagine enduring. Courtney found forever friends in the people she met through her NA groups, and hoped to leave an everlasting imprint on their lives. Addiction does not discriminate. Courtney is survived by her mother, Barbara Brown; father, Dwayne Brown; sisters, Andrea (Spencer) Griffin, Michaela Brown, and Manuela Brown; Niece Aliayah; Nephews, Joseph, Saxon, Lucas, and Giovanni Brown-Mays, and by a plethora of family, loved ones, and friends who all miss her dearly.
