Terrible. Will always remember his big play against BYU. Gone far to soon.

RIP Gary Brown. Still remember that great kickoff run vs Texas and him playing in the Big33 with Ricky Watters.

Saddened to hear the news of Gary's passing today. Heard the past couple of months his health was not good due to pancreatic cancer.
Gary was a Williamsport Millionaire football legend as well as a PSU legend. I always remember the talking too JoePa gave him after he celebrated too much on his first TD run as a freshman. Gary was a super personable guy and a very successful running back coach on top of being a great player. You'll be missed Gary, RIP.

I was in middle school in Williamsport when he was in high school and the community took great pride in Mr. Excitement. The Sun Gazette featured a story on Gary and his recruitment and I still remember the photo of him amidst thousands of recruiting letters. Just a great guy and outstanding family. RIP

Hard to believe. Just a few months younger than me. Gone too soon.

Lived a block a part growing up. Hung out with his brother Kevin. We had some intense Atari tournaments back in the day! Used to brag that my brother and I beat him and Kevin in touch FB in the backyard once!

Rest in Peace GB

A piece written in local paper.

Gary Brown became a legend on and off the field

The first time I saw Gary Brown, he scared me. A lot. I was 17 and watching the Houston Oilers play on television as Brown started running over defenders. I have always been a diehard 49ers fan but in 1993 and 94 I had a second favorite team because my childhood hero Joe Montana was […]

Tough dude, good person. RIP Gary

Gary Brown was a team player. Although he was a superb running back, he switched to defense to play the Hero position as a junior to fill a need on defense. RIP Gary Brown.

 

[diontechristmas]

He was one of my favorite PSU players when I was a little guy, even more because he was local. Unselfish guy who played defense at PSU, and still went on to have a very solid NFL career at RB. Had a very respectable coaching career going as well.

RIP Gary, a PA football legend.

A little off-topic (and no disrespect to Gary Brown) but the Williamsport references reminded me of long-time poster @MtNittany

Has he been around lately?

Mt Nittany was from Loyalsock TWP, which is part of the greater Williamsport area. I think he left the board when Tom did. He was a good poster.

They needed help at DB and Gary was a natural fit with his athletic ability. If you remember, Blair Thomas was coming back from a knee injury and would have already graduated, but used an injury redshirt. So instead of having Gary and Leroy Thompson battling for the TB spot their Junior year, it was Blairs. I really think JoePa didn't want a tailback controversy, hence Gary's move to defense. That's just my personal opinion
