Robert Darrell Brown

Robert was born October 18, 1956 in Aiken, South Carolina to Waymond Jolly Brown and Yoshie Takahara. Known by close friends and family as Bob or Bobby, he grew up as a military child with his dad serving in the Air Force and experienced rich memories of living in Japan and Belgium before his family took roots in Grand Prairie during his teenage years.
