~Sonya Kaye Brown~
CUERO: Sonya Kaye Brown, 60, entered her sunset Tuesday, June 9, 2026. She was born on October 10, 1965 to Earvin “Bo-Tie” and Dorothy Faye Ross Brown. She was the pride and joy of her parents. Being around her natural born cowboy father, she grew up being a number one cowgirl. She grew up rough and tough, a fighter. She loved horses and the rodeo way of life. It was engrained in her. No doubt she was a Brown. Her pride and joy was her horse named “Ace.” She accepted Christ as her personal Saviour and was baptized at an early age. Growing up, she was a member of Brothers Chapel UMC choir and on occasion she would sing with the Macedonia BC Youth Choir. She loved to praise God. She was a 1984 graduate of Cuero High School. She was a member of the Cuero Fighting Gobbler Band (served as secretary and treasurer); Office of Education Association (OEA) parliamentarian, secretary, OEA Area Contestant and OEA State Delegate and Future Teachers of America (FTA). After High School graduation, she attended San Antonio College (SAC) and received her diploma in Business Administration. She worked at Houston Methodist Hospital Sports Medicine in admitting and later as a patient service representative for over 15 years. She was a lovable spirted young lady who enjoyed life. She loved having fun. She was the life of the party, a jokester at times and could Zydeco dance out of this world. She loved her family and those she called friends very much. She would do anything she could for you. She was kind, encouraging and generous. She just loved people. She didn’t meet a stranger. She was outspoken and seemed never lost for words. She leaves to cherish her memory, her mother, Dorothy F. Brown; aunts, Ivory J. Eldridge, Carol P. Brookens (Leon), Linda Ross, Helen Ross and Pearl Ross Johnson; uncles, Mitchell Ross and Derrick Ross (Anita Trevino); a host of nieces, nephews and cousins and god-daughter, Tiarra “Tee” Rodrigues.

Brown and Henry Willis Brown; her maternal grandparents, Joseph “Jay” Ross and Doris Lee Littles Ross; paternal grandparents, Sim and Stella Harvey Brown; aunt/bonus sister Dee Etta Ross Johnson and cousin/bonus sister, Catrina Pickens Harper.
