Brown passed away earlier this month after a short illness.
He served as Governor Bashir's secretary of the executive cabinet before leaving in 2022 to take a position at Simmons College, a private HBCU in Louisville.
Brown was a judge at an attorney who also served in former Governor Steve Beshear's cabinet.
At Saturday's memorial, Governor Bashir remembered his friend and adviser as someone who touched the lives of many.
Today is hard because of how selflessly he helped so many of us, maybe all of us in this room to advance our careers and our lives and gave us good advice on some days and tough advice when it was needed as well.
If you close your eyes, any picture, Michael, you can remember at least one great conversation, or maybe one inspirational or maybe even stern speech that he gave you.
I got to witness so many of them.
J Michael Brown was 73 years old.
