Hunter Brown Parents Kimberly Brown And Kevin Brown

Hunter Brown parents Kimberly and Kevin Brown raised him in St Clair Shores of Michigan. 

Hunter's mother, Kimberly or Kim in short, is a experienced nurse with over 15 years of work in the critical care and health care industry.

Kim has been working as a registered nurse at Henry Ford Health since attaining her Associates Degree from the Port Huron County Community College in 2021. Before that, she was a Registered Respiratory Therapist at the same clinic for 13 years.

Her skills include Mechanical Ventilation, Pulmonary Disease Management, Hyperbaric Medicine, Patient Education, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and Pulmonary Function Testing. 

As for her education, Kim first graduated with an AS degree in Respiratory Therapy from Macomb Community College in 2008 while also working at St. John Providence Health System.

Afterward, she joined Siena Heights University for a BASc degree with a Major in Respiratory Therapy and a Minor in Healthcare Management. She graduated in 2014 with a 4.0 GPA.

Being a health care worker, she is also into volunteering and has done so at the St. Germaine Catholic School and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, among others. She also regularly donates to charities.

Kim was working her usual midnight shift when she missed a call from Hunter. She immediately called back, instinctively knowing it was about a call-up.

“Honestly, I had a feeling,” she said. “Hunter works all year long, always has on his baseball. He’d find a way.” She calls it the greatest moment of her life after the birth of her four children.

Hunter Brown father Kevin Brown is one of the biggest support systems he has.

When #58 made his stellar MLB debut against the Rangers at Minute Maid Park on 5 September 2022, the presence of his parents and family meant everything to him.

Kim and Kevin Brown flew all the way from Michigan to Houston to watch their youngest child make his big debut. However, they could not separate the experience from all that had led up to it.

In Astros’ 1-0 victory, Hunter hurled six shutout innings to gain his first major league win. In doing so, he became the first Astros player to record a quality start since Jarred Cosart in July 2013.

Kevin and the rest of the family were always confident about Hunter and his career prospects. “Patience and faith, all the way through,” he said, describing his son as very result-driven and goal-oriented.

Since he was achieving his goals and seeing the results, Hunter was very calm and patient. Kevin had been nothing short of confident in his abilties.

Kevin's father was joined by his mother, sister (Maddie), uncle, and girlfriend (Caley Gibson), all donning the custom No. 58 Astros jerseys to lead the Brown fan club at Section 122.

While he was nervous for the big day, Hunter says it was nice to hear the fans. "Not a knock on any other fan bases, but yeah, I guess it was a little bit louder than I anticipated. It was definitely really cool,” the pitcher said.

Kevin calls August 29 "one of the greatest days of his life twice,” since it was not only the day Hunter was born, but also the day the Astros informed him that they were adding him to the taxi squad as a preparation to putting him in the major league roster later that week.

However, Hunter's opportunity had arrived at the expense of the pitcher who was his idol. Justin Verlander’s calf injury had cleared the path for Hunter to the major league pitching staff.

Hunter's dad said that the two had a lot in common and that “Not only did he [Hunter] grow up idolizing him [Justin], he mirrored him.” 

Hunter Brown is the youngest among four children in his family. Hunter has three sisters.

His sisters are Madison, Morgan and Taylor Brown. All three highly support their little brother's baseball career and usually attend his games to show their support. Further, their social media accounts are filled with the pitcher's baseball posts.

Morgan, whose full name is Morgan Rae Brown, is a budding writer, educator, and activist. She also describes herself as a dreamer, storyteller, thriver, and doer.

She has a blog to share her experiences, views, and opinions on topics from her personal life to social causes to health issues and more. She also sells apparels with messages about awareness, which she calls 'a walking billboard.'

The topics Morgan has touched upon include Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Self Love, Mental Health Awareness, Recovery, etc.

In addition to the four Brown kids, the family has a German Shepherd husky mix named Whiskey. They adopted him in 2020 and consider him a part of the family.
