Nicholas Dustin Browning, beloved son, father, husband, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend, unexpectedly passed from this life on Friday, April 28, 2023, at the age of 42. He is survived by his parents, Vicki Lynn Browning (Kirkland) and Barney Harold Browning III; his sons Nicholas Matthew and Jase Dustin; wife Samantha Lynn Browning (Horne); grandfathers, Johnnie Carroll Kirkland Sr and Barney Harold Browning Sr..; and aunt, Gloria Jean Aronofsky (Kirkland); and many more family members and friends. His grandmothers, Wylene Lindsay Kirkland, and Betty Jean Browning predeceased Nicholas.
Nicholas spent his entire life in the northeast Florida area and loved spending time with his family, friends, and animals.

I still can’t comprehend that you are no longer here with us. My heart is shattered, and I will never be the same without you. However, I have peace in knowing you are in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and you are no longer suffering or in pain. I will see you again my sweet son, when Jesus calls me home. Until then, I will take care of your sweet boys. I love you son, always and forever 💙🕊️🤍
