Harold David “Buck” Brown, 81, of Fort Worth, Texas, died Oct. 2, 2024. He was born Feb. 10, 1943, in Hinsdale to Harold Martin and Erma Fay (Hartley) Brown. He lived with his mother and grandfather in Hinsdale while his father served in World War II. When his father returned home two years later, the family settled on the South Bench to farm. As the eldest of four brothers, he was often charged with helping around the farm from breaking horses to driving the tractor. He was also an avid athlete, but basketball was his true love. He played for Nashua when they moved to Fort Peck when he was in the 11th grade. From an early age, his parents encouraged him to get all the education he could. After graduating from Nashua High School in 1961, he earned a full ride basketball scholarship to Carroll College in Helena. He graduated in 1965 with a degree in political science. While working for the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation in Helena, he met Bonnie Rae Kositzky. They were wed on Feb. 7, 1970. Their honeymoon to Spain sparked their desire to live and work internationally. After completing an MBA at Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona, he worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative in Minnesota and New Jersey until he could find an assignment that would take him overseas. The first opportunity would take him to Jakarta, Indonesia. As was the practice, he went early to ensure he was a fit for the ex-pat assignment. Before Bonnie could join him, he was promoted to a new assignment in Hong Kong. A promotion would take them to Madrid, Spain, in 1975 where their children, Jason and Jessica, were born. They traveled widely, exploring the new country with their children. The ex-pat life was seldom settled as they moved to Santiago, Chile, back to Spain, then to Fort Worth, Texas, Severna Park, Md., Montana and back to Fort Worth. They
