the good in memphis

Marlon Brown is constantly helping those in need

"Marlon "Big Dog" Brown officially works for SOS(Service Over Self) but is constantly in the Binghamton and Orange Mound neighborhoods helping those in need. Marlon would, and has, given the clothes off of his back and the furniture from his home for others. Marlon is definitely Something Good in Memphis!" Nominated by Chuck Carter.

Marlon (Big Dog) Brown is of of the finest examples of unselfish love I have witnessed in the 40 plus years I have lived in this community. I second Chuck Carter's nomination of this tireless worker for the good of others. He is a big guy that stands tall for the helpless and homeless. Knowing him and his wife Jackie has enriched my life and others I know and love.

I had the MEMORABLE pleasure of meeting BIG DOG and Jackie at Perkins over Saturday morning breakfast. This compassionate man has great countenance and with BIBLE could immediately find a scripture that I was needing.
