Tributes paid to ‘kind-hearted and harmless’ Hubert Brown
Sixty-one-year-old Hubert Brown has been described as a “kind-hearted and harmless individual” by his family as they paid tribute to him following his death in St Paul’s.
The popular and well-known Easton local was known to most people as Isaac.
He died from a stab wound suffered during an incident in Grosvenor Road on Friday which is being investigated by police as a race-hate crime.
In a statement, his family said: “During this difficult time, our family is heartbroken and deeply saddened by the loss of Hubert, affectionately known as Isaac by many.
“He was a kind-hearted, harmless individual, it is truly devastating that his life ended in such a tragic manner.
“Accepting that he is no longer with us is incredibly challenging, and we are struggling to comprehend and come to terms with the circumstances surrounding his passing.
“Hubert was a beloved member of our community, and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to those who went above and beyond to help him during that time, as well as to the police for their ongoing investigation.
“As a family, we are supporting one another through this trying period, finding solace in each other’s presence and shared memories.”
Christina Howell, 36, of Bates Close in Easton, has been charged with Hubert’s murder and appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Monday where she spoke only to confirm her name and address. She will appear before a judge at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday.
