He has a big family and loved everyone even if he didn’t say it much.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Leona Brown; and brother, Robert Brown Jr.

He is survived by his children, Renee and Duran “Bean” Brown; his parents, Juanita and Doug (stepdad) Youngman; his sister, Robyn Brown; and three grandchildren.
