“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.”
CLARENCE BROWN III (1968 – 2021) St. Philip’s wraps its loving arms around the family of loyal friend and We Believe Campaign cabinet member, Clarence B. Brown, III. The Killeen, Texas native was born to a family of educators and was a devoted father and husband to Evan, Ryan and Lily and their mother Shonn, a former SPSCC trustee. Though Clarence was an only child, he was never alone, making friends easily and maintaining those friendships throughout his lifetime. He enjoyed a notable career as an attorney, providing legal counsel to technology and start-up companies. Clarence truly believed that education was a great equalizer and that enhancing opportunities for children of color, particularly Black children, would be the key to narrowing the achievement gap in our society. His presence as an active supporter of our ministry and community will be greatly missed. Many families will be enriched by Clarence’s legacy through numerous gifts made in his memory over the last several months.
CHARLES HILLMAN JR. (1954 – 2021) Our prayers are with the Hillman family, El Hajj Malik, his sister and mother, in the passing of their dear father and husband. Charles, an alumni parent, was a well-known community activist and artist. His friends remember him as a man of principle, passion, and purpose. He was an incredibly talented actor. He lived out his purpose and calling to advocate for Black Americans while also thriving in his acting career. All who knew him will attest to the mark he left on the communities and the City of Dallas. He was always out front, doing his best to assure America's promise to African-Americans was kept. A true Civil Rights champion and victor! May his big heart and laughter live on in the hearts of many!
MONA MUNSON (1936 – 2021) St. Philip’s sends its sincerest condolences to the Munson family in the passing of their beloved matriarch, Mona, a loving mother, wife, and daughter. A graduate of the Hockaday School and Wellesley College, Mona was a member and supporter of various notable Dallas organizations. She was a generous donor and loyal friend of St. Philip’s for over 40 years. Her friends and family remember her as a kind woman with a loving heart and giving spirit. She leaves a beautiful legacy of kindness, grace, and generosity with the St. Philip’s community.
GONZALO SAY CHAY (1970 – 2021)
Our deepest prayers are extended to the Say family – Armando, Estefanie, Leyda, Arnoldo and Marta – in the passing of their father and husband. Mr. Say was a dedicated servant leader and alumni parent at St. Philip's School and Community Center for 20 years. Not only was he a key lead member of the operations team, but he was a helping hand around homes of our faculty, staff, and neighbors. He will be remembered for his beautiful smile and willingness to help. His presence will be missed dearly.
