Darryl Brown, born on June 30, 1932, in Bellevue, Michigan, bid farewell to this world on April 21, 2024, at the age of 91. Darryl's life was marked by service, love, and an unwavering zest for life.
After proudly serving his country in the Army from 1952 to 1955, Darryl returned home to embark on his greatest adventure - marriage to his beloved Shirley Wilkins Brown on April 2, 1955. Their union was blessed with three children: Vickie Brown Watkins, Teresa Brown Rankin, and Terry Brown.
Darryl's passions extended beyond his family; he found joy and camaraderie in golfing, bowling, and playing cards. His enthusiasm for these activities was infectious and brought smiles to those around him.
Darryl's memory will be forever cherished by his devoted wife of 69 years, his loving children, and his adored grandchildren. Though he may have departed this world, his spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
A memorial service to honor Darryl's life will be held on Friday, April 26, at 1:30 p.m. at Fellowship Square in Mesa, AZ. May his legacy of love, laughter, and kindness continue to inspire generations to come.
