Jason Warren Brown

Jason Warren Brown passed away on August 21, 2026, leaving behind a life that was full of hard work, determination, adventure, and, above all else, love for his family.

Jason was born on December 24,1974, to Jack and Glenda Brown. He was the first child in a close-knit family, followed three years later by his sister, Kelly. Jason spent his life in Bogart, growing up in a town surrounded by family, familiar faces, and plenty of room to roam.

Jason was a hard worker from the beginning. After graduating from Oconee County High School in 1993, he headed to the University of Georgia where he graduated in 1998 with a degree in Agricultural Engineering with an emphasis in Electrical Engineering. Soon after graduation, he began his career with Georgia Power which was an important part of his life. During his time with Georgia Power, he participated in the company’s Executive Mentoring Program, worked as a Special Projects Engineer, and served as a Project Manager for the Northeast Georgia Region. His career eventually took him beyond Georgia Power as he served in a leadership role with the Southeastern Electrification Council, and eventually starting his own business, Southern Utility Partners.

For all of his professional accomplishments, however, Jason would tell you that his greatest accomplishments had nothing to do with engineering, projects, or job titles.

They were his children.

From the moment he became a father, Jason would tell people that he finally knew what true love was. Because he wanted to give them the kind of childhood he had known--one filled with family, the outdoors, and laughter--he built a home in Bogart where they could be close to family and childhood friends.

Jason's life was not defined by perfection. Like everyone, he had difficult chapters, hard lessons, and seasons when life was not easy. But his story was one of perseverance. He kept going. He worked hard. He loved deeply. Over the years, Jason found himself a home at the Athens Commencement Center where he found sobriety and an extended family. One of the most meaningful chapters of his life began when he purchased the Athens Commencement Center in 2025. He loved working alongside others who were walking their own paths toward sobriety, offering encouragement, understanding, and hope from his own experiences. His time over the past year at the Athens Commencement Center is a time when he found purpose, connection, and the opportunity to help others.

Jason loved being outside whether it was hunting in Oglethorpe County or fishing in the Keys. But perhaps what he loved most was sharing those experiences with the people he loved.

Jason is survived by his parents, Jack and Glenda Brown; his children--Blake Brown, Jackson Brown, and Wyatt Brown; his children’s mother, Jennie Vanderpool; dear companion, Angie Kinley; his sister, Kelly Maffeo along with her husband and children; and many extended family members and friends who will miss his humor, his determination, his stories, and his presence.

Visitation will be held at Grace Fellowship Church in Bogart on Thursday, August 27, beginning at 10:00 a.m., followed by a service celebrating Jason’s life at 12:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a donation to the Athens Commencement Center, located at 1175 Mitchell Bridge Road, Athens, Georgia, 30606, an organization that held a special place in Jason’s heart and was an important part of his journey.
