DALLASThe Houston Advertising Federation has established a scholarship fund in honor of Jean William Brown, a prominent ad executive, mentor and community leader who died last week at 76.

Brown suffered an apparent stroke a day after having Thanksgiving dinner with his family, said federation president Jay Hagins. Funeral services, attended by numerous ad executives influenced by Brown, were held Wednesday in Houston, Hagins said.

“He was known as a counselor and confidante to people in the industry,” Hagins said.
