Charles “Chuck” Stephen Brown, II, 58, of San Angelo, Texas, passed away on July 29, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was born on July 27, 1967, in San Angelo to Stephen and Ellen Brown.

Chuck graduated from Central High School and attended Angelo State University. Following his time at ASU, he began his career with the Colorado Municipal District Research Team, where he worked on the landmark study that determined the Concho water snake was not endangered. Chuck played a hands-on role in the study, capturing water snakes, implanting microchips, and returning them to their natural habitats. His three years of research helped pave the way for the development of the Lake Ivie Reservoir.

Chuck later worked as a hydrologist for SK Engineering before becoming Director of Operations for the Upper Colorado River Authority (UCRA) in San Angelo. During his tenure, he contributed to numerous significant projects, including brush eradication feasibility studies along the North, Middle, and South Concho Rivers, which led to millions in state funding for local ranchers and farmers to improve water access. He was also instrumental in the Storm Water Pilot Project, which documented water runoff events in San Angelo and secured federal grants for the city. The State of Texas relied on Chuck’s expertise to monitor water quality throughout the region.

In 2021, Chuck founded his own business, Hydro Corporation, providing water quality services to several West Texas cities.

A true outdoorsman, Chuck was happiest fishing, hunting, and spending time in nature. He was known for his intelligence, quick wit, and deep love for his family—especially his granddaughter, Elena. He also shared a special bond with his beloved dogs, Cinco and Maverick.

Chuck is survived by his loving wife, Jenni Brown; daughters, Megan Mann and husband Jesse, and Hannah Brown; granddaughter, Elena Mann; father, Stephen Brown, and wife Becky. He was preceded in death by his mother, Ellen Brown, and infant daughter, Jordan Nicole Brown.

A memorial service will take place on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in San Angelo.

He took pride in providing for his loved ones and carried himself with quiet strength and humility.

He had a warm smile, a kind spirit, and a heart that welcomed everyone. Whether through his stories, his laughter, or the simple acts of love he showed daily, Carlos left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Carlos was preceded in death by his beloved parents, two sisters, and three brothers. He is survived by his cherished wife, Guadalupe E. Domani of San Angelo; his beloved children: Carlos Domani and wife Maritza of Chicago, IL; Denyse Domani of San Angelo; Jorge Domani and wife Dora Nelly of San Antonio; Diana Domani of San Antonio; and Desirée Juarez and husband Efrain of San Angelo.

Domani, Anneli Domani, Diego Elizondo, Doreli Domani, Alex Domani, Natalia Domani, Joel Domani, Adrian Rosales, Angel Rosales, Samuel I. Rosales, Ambar Rosales, Caleb Rosales, Alan Juarez, Jose Gonzalez, Debora Gonzalez, and Daniel Gonzalez; and was blessed to welcome four great-grandchildren into his heart.

Carlos is also survived by his brother Jorge Domani Silva of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and a large extended family of nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends who will forever treasure his memory.

With family close by, Jimmie went to be with the Lord on July 22, 2025. He was known by many names Jim, Jimbo, Dad, Pops but his favorite was Pa Pa.

A celebration of life service will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at Robert Massie Riverside Chapel with Pastor Russ Frasier and Steve White, officiating.

Jimmie was born to Charlie Luther White and Annie Doris White in San Angelo, TX. He graduated from Lakeview High School in 1960 where he played sports while creating many lifelong friendships. During this same time, he met Linda Fay Townsend, married in June 1961 and loved her till his final days. They had a large double wedding with Linda's twin sister Brenda and dads' best friend Roy Vallandingham. Their wedding made the front page of the newspaper and was the talk of the town.

Dad started working for his Uncle Fess at the Texaco Station on North Chadbourne, changing oil, washing cars, and pumping gas. His career as a plumber began with John Bright in the early 1960's learning the trade of plumbing, pipefitting and welding. He worked residential in the early years but transitioned to commercial work to include Hemphill Wells, Angelo State dorms, Sunset Mall, Post Office, Community Hospital, along with many power plants across west Texas and a refinery in Texas City.

Dad retired after 38 years of being a plumber, but there was still work to be done. He was always ready to build something...anything. Many sitting here today called upon him to help with projects, large and small, Dad was ready to help. In his later years, needing assistance to walk, Dad still looked forward to mowing at Steven's place as often as it required, for as long as it took. His last day of work was completed May 7th 2025, mowing along the Concho River. He loved it there.

Dad enjoyed coaching baseball. His first years of coaching were with the YMCA in San Angelo. The fields were downtown back then, close to the present-day YMCA building. He coached several teams to City Championship games and later, as Little League gained popularity in San Angelo, dad coached for 13 more years. It was during these years that Dad and Mr. "Mac" became close friends while coaching several teams and many young men. Dad referred to Mr. Mac as the best friend a man could ever have.

If you played baseball at Eastern Little League near Lakeview High School, you can thank Jim White and James McWhorter for turning a pasture into a baseball field.

Dad had many close friends, but none closer than Roy Vallandingham. Friends from junior high, brother-in-law till the end. Fishing, hunting, and water skiing, "doing life together" is what they did. Dad stated often how much he missed Roy and wished they could go fishing one more time. Dad, not typically an emotional man, loved his family and friends.

Surviving Dad is our Mom, Linda White; 2 children, Lisa Frasier and husband Scotty and Steven White and wife Jennifer; grandchildren, Blake Scott and wife Monica, Chad Scott and fiance Blakely, Kaitlyn Seidel and husband Carter; along with great grandchildren, Ava Lynn Scott and Hunter Michael Scott.

Preceding Dad in death were his parents, Charlie and Doris White; brother, Edgar Lee White and wife Dawn Ann; favorite Uncle, William Festus White; nephew, Edgar Lee White, Jr.

Dad was a member of the San Angelo Cowboy Church. He had many friends there and felt at home for many years.

The family would like to thank the incredible nurses and aids of Shannon Hospital along with Sagecrest Skilled Nursing. The Allison House caregivers treated our Dad with great kindness and respect. In addition, Hospice of San Angelo stood with us morning and night, as we kept dad at home for his final days. We referred to them as our Angels on earth.

Dads' wishes were that donations to Meals for the Elderly of San Angelo be made in lieu of flowers.
