Dennis Ronald Brown

Dennis Brown, 79, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family after a courageous battle with Lewy body dementia. Dennis served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. His service, dedication, and sacrifice were a source of pride throughout his life.

He is survived by his loving wife, Anita Brown; son, Steve Brown; daughter-in-law, Nancy Brown; grandchildren, Tyler and Nico; Tyler’s fiancée, Riley; brother, Jim Brown; and nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to those who provided love, encouragement, hands-on support, and comfort during Dennis’ final weeks, including **Jo Duarte, Bree Danielle Mondragon, Nicole Sousa, Jocelynn Sousa, Barbara Jump, Vicky Bliss, Jim Bliss, and the entire Bliss family: Hiro and Tracy Hosobe; Don, Tiffany, and Max Foster; Chris and Courtney Patterson; James Hosobe; Oliver and Ashley Hosobe; and Spencer and Annie Hosobe.
