Jack E. Brown, Jr., associate professor and chairman of the department of pharmacy practice and administration at the St. John Fisher College Wegmans School of Pharmacy in Rochester, New York, died unexpectedly on November 2. He was 48 years old. Brown was an infectious diseases (ID)–trained researcher and a prolific author. He joined the faculty of Wegmans School of Pharmacy in 2013 after serving as associate professor of pharmacy, medicine, and public health at University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. His earlier career included research and education roles at the University of Connecticut College of Pharmacy in Storrs, at Dartmouth Medical School in New Hampshire, and at Cubist Pharmaceuticals in Lexington, Massachusetts. “He was the kindest person; he always put others first,” said Deborah Goff, associate professor in infectious diseases at the Ohio State University (OSU) Medical Center in Columbus. “He was also a gifted educator. He loved teaching.”
