Bobby Brown was born the second child of Robert Brown and Arstine Oliver in Salzburg, Austria on March 19, 1953. Bobby is survived by his mother Arstine Timms, sister Sheila Dorsey, brother Ronald Brown, sister-in-law Ann Marie, step-brother Reginald Timms, and nieces Keisha Dorsey, Adrianna, Ayanna, Brenna, and Kalie Brown. Bobby graduated from Mt Eden High in 1973. After graduation, he enlisted in the US Army and served 10 years. Bob was always a coach and mentor, so he volunteered to go on “Trail” to shape new recruits; instilling in them the values and skills to become successful soldiers. Being a drill sergeant filled his passion to shape the next generation, but his hunger was to put his “knees in the breeze” and become an elite paratrooper with the 509th Airborne Infantry. When not grilling, Bobby’s favorite past time was going to ball-games and playing golf. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Raider’s fan, golfer, mixologist, and grill master true. You brought laughter and camaraderie to all you knew.
