If Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie has his way, then a road in the Mineral Heights division will be named after late former May Pen Mayor and councillor for the Mineral Heights division, Milton Brown.

During his tribute at Brown’s thanksgiving service, held on Sunday at the May Pen Seventh-day Adventist Church in Clarendon, McKenzie urged councillors and Mayor Winston Maragh to ensure that his legacy is remembered.

He also pledged to provide funds from his ministry to construct a road “so there is a legacy that can be named in honour of Milton Brown for the services that he offered in the field of local government,” McKenzie added.

Brown’s children depicted a man who allowed for mistakes but pushed for them to do their best.

Among those who paid tribute to Brown were former Prime Minister Bruce Golding, Minister of Transport and Mining, Robert Montague, Mayor Winston Maragh, and former May Pen Mayor Scean Barnswell during the four-hour-long service.
