1948 - 2024
OBITUARY
Alfred Eugene Brought was friends with everyone it seemed. He was smart, so strong, and always able to make us laugh. Alfred Eugene Brought was born in Yonkers NY 12/12/1948 to parents Josephine and Oliver Brought. He passed in Henderson Nevada on 11/16/2024. Alfred graduated from Yonkers High School where he was known for his photogenic memory and challenging the teachers. Alfred then became a field technician and worked for Bell Atlantic/NY Tel/Verizon for over 30 years. Alfred married his high school sweetheart, Marcia Falkowitz on September 22,1967. They started a family and had one son; Eric Eugene Brought. Eric married his wife Susan and had two children, Elizabeth and Michael Brought. Alfred then became a great grandfather when Elizabeth gave birth to Marcia Brought. After Alfred lost the love of his life, he remarried Darlene Odendahl. Eventually they divorced, but Alfred remained a part of her life, as well as her son Ryan and his two daughters. His best friend in Nevada was Kenneth Pavese, who treated him like a brother. Alfred was a practicing Catholic that enjoyed hobbies such as, motorcycles, cars, and hunting. Later in life he enjoyed wildlife, reading and collectables. Alfred was an active Union man with CWA. Alfred will always be remembered for his intelligence and his willingness to help. Alfred could also talk a good line as well as any politician. We can imagine him saying one more time, "I only believe half of what I say so how much of what you say do I believe. "We could not have asked for a better father, friend, sibling, uncle, grandfather or great grandfather. We will miss Alfred every day. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him. Alfred was preceded in death by his parents, Josephine and Oliver Brought, his stepfather Stephen Gonda, and sister Rosalie. Alfred is survived by sister Annette Mc Inenly and spouse William. Also, by son Eric Brought and spouse Susan, his grandchildren Elizabeth and Michael Brought and great granddaughter Marcia Brought.
