Robert Brown Obituary
In loving memory of Robert "Bob" Brown who passed away on January 9, 2017. Born in Longview, WA, in December of 1926, he grew up in Coulee City, then graduated from Roosevelt High School, where he met his wife, Ann. They were married for 67 years. He served in the Coast Guard from 1946 to 1949. He then graduated from the University of Washington in 1952 with degrees in architecture and city planning. He completed his career as an architect and planner for the Edmonds School District, retiring in 1988.
As a 50-year member of the Edmonds United Methodist Church he made many friends. He volunteered at the church's food bank for nearly 30 years, sang in the choir, belonged to several men's groups and served as a greeter and memorial service planner.
He and Ann had a vacation home on Camano Island and developed many friendships over happy hours and cabin repairs. Bob also enjoyed reading, camping, trains, gardening, the outdoors and traveled over 5 continents with Ann.
The values and life lessons that he modeled over his lifetime will always be a part of us, along with his sense of humor. Bob is greatly missed by his wife Ann and his children Todd (and wife Candy), Robbin (Bob), and Nancy (Mark); his grandchildren Jill (Shelby), David (Claire), Sarah (Kyle), and Derrick (Ellie); and his great grandchildren Amelia, Abigail and Fredrick.
In honor of his life a memorial service will be held on Monday, February 20th, at 2:00 PM at the Edmonds United Methodist Church, 828 Caspers Street. In lieu of flowers he had requested donations be made to the Edmonds Food Bank.

Dear Family,
Thank you! for the privilege to have been a part with you all these years to get to know and love your Dad as if he was our own Father and Grandfather. Rick, Noah, Jacob and I have been truly blessed. We will miss him greatly but we have some wonderful and now precious memories of him. Now he is with his Lord, face to face. What a joyous reunion. Love you all so much!
