Derry Brownfield Passed Away March 12

Our hearts and prayers are with the family of broadcaster Derry Brownfield. Derry passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 12. 

We all mourn the passing of our friend. Derry’s wit, sense of humor, loyalty, and Cowboy Spirit will be sorely missed.  Not only was he the personal friend of so many in OPRC, but he was also the staunch friend of everyone’s private property rights.  

On Monday, Ozarks Property Rights Congress President c. Russell Wood gave tribute to Derry in his email announcing the defeat of the Ozarks Highlands National Heritage Area. “So sorry Derry missed the good news. Derry had said, ‘They should know better than to try to slip something in on that bunch down there in southern Missouri.’ ”

 Services will be tomorrow, March 16, at 11 a.m. at the California, Missouri United Church of Christ with burial in the California Masonic Cemetery.

Memorials are suggested to the Gideon’s International, c/o Derry Brownfield, P.O. Box 79, Centertown, MO 65023. Arrangements are under the direction of Bowlin-Cantriel Funeral Services, California, Missouri.
