Adam Brown

British Soldier, Royal Marine Adam Brown, of Alpha Company, 40 Commando, was killed on August 1, 2010, in an explosion in Sangin, Helmand, while on foot patrol.

Amy Brown, widow of the 25-year-old Royal Marine, of Burtle, Somerset, said her husband would always be her hero.

"My wonderful husband, my childhood sweetheart and best friend. Always a hero in my eyes and I am so proud of you. I will treasure the perfect memories I have of our life together, always." 

Marine Brown - killed instantly in the blast - joined the Royal Marines in 2004 before being deployed to Iraq, Sierra Leone and Afghanistan.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Adam Brown is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
