David Andrew Maybrown, 57, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
Born in New York City, David was raised in Oceanside, Long Island, New York, and was one of two children born to Joseph and Rhea Maybrown. A talented athlete from an early age, David attended Oceanside High School, where he excelled as a member of the boys' varsity soccer team. Following his graduation in 1987, he attended Bradley University before transferring to the University of South Florida, where he earned his bachelor's degree in Business Communications in 1991. His passion for soccer continued throughout his college years, where he proudly competed at the Division I level. This love and passion for soccer never stopped until the day he rested.
David enjoyed a successful career in the broadcast and television industry spanning more than 25 years. He was a Senior Director at MLB Network in Secaucus, NJ, where he joined the organization in 2009, shortly after its launch, initially working as an ingest operator. Most recently, he served as Senior Director of Broadcast Origination, overseeing a team responsible for coordinating transmissions from ballparks, arenas, and locations around the world. Prior to joining MLB Network, David worked as a tape room operator for the NBA from 2006 to 2008 and as a TOC Manager with Phoenix Communications from 2002 to 2006. Earlier in his career, he was also part of the team at WFAN in New York. Throughout his distinguished career, David earned five Emmy Awards and became a highly respected and valued member of the broadcast community. He took great pride in his work and approached every day with dedication, passion, and a commitment to doing his very best. His knowledge and contributions to the industry earned him the admiration and respect of the many colleagues and peers who had the pleasure of working alongside him.
While David took great pride in his professional accomplishments, his greatest achievement and deepest joy was always his family. He and his wife, Jeanie Monahan Maybrown, shared a love story that began in nursery school. Childhood friends who briefly dated during high school, they reconnected in 1997, rediscovered their love for one another, and were married on October 5, 2002. Together, they cherished 24 years of loving and devoted marriage.
David and Jeanie initially settled in Nutley, NJ, where they welcomed their first daughter, Samantha Jayne Maybrown. In 2006, they moved to Wayne, NJ, where they completed their family with the birth of their second daughter, Alexa Jordan Maybrown. After many wonderful years in Wayne, they recently moved to Randolph, New Jersey, just two months ago.
David was a devoted husband and an extraordinary father whose family meant everything to him. He took immense pride in his daughters and cherished every moment spent with them. Whether coaching their soccer teams, traveling to tournaments, cooking for them, listening to music, taking them to WWE events, or simply spending time together, he was happiest when he was with his family. His love for his wife and daughters was at the center of his life, and he treasured the memories they made together. He never missed an opportunity to support them, encourage them, and let them know how proud he was. It was clear that David’s greatest passion in life was for his family.
David was a down-to-earth individual with a wonderful sense of humor and an unmistakable ability to bring people together. He was often the life of the party, always ready to make those around him smile and never short on a story to tell. Whether sharing a funny memory, recounting an experience, or simply keeping a conversation going, David loved telling stories and had a way of keeping everyone entertained. His trademark performance of "Jessie's Girl" at weddings and family gatherings became a beloved tradition that those who knew him will never forget. Known for his honesty, warmth, and comforting nature, David was someone family and friends could always count on. He was also affectionately known for being fashionably late, a personality trait that became just another part of his charm.
Outside of work and family, David enjoyed playing golf, soaking up the sunshine, cooking for those he loved, watching WWE events, and relaxing at the beach, which was always one of his favorite places to be. He appreciated the simple pleasures in life and loved making memories with the people closest to him. He was also a talented cook, especially known for his famous chicken cutlets, lovingly referred to by his friends and family as "Daddy's Chicken." He and Jeanie treasured their family vacations and the memories they created together in Paris, France, Aruba, and London. David also shared a special bond with his beloved golden retriever, Midge, who brought him 4 years of happiness and companionship.
David will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father, loyal friend, respected colleague, and genuinely wonderful person. His kindness, humor, honesty, and ability to make everyone around him feel welcome touched the lives of all who knew him. Above all, he will be remembered for the love he had for his family.
David is survived by his wife Jeanie Maybrown (nee Monahan), his two daughters; Sam Maybrown, and Ali Maybrown, his brother Keith Maybrown, and his mother Rhea Maybrown. He was predeceased by his father Joseph Maybrown.
