Daniel Eugene Brown

1949 - 2025

Daniel Eugene Brown, born May 11, 1949 to Garrett and Beverly Brown, died peacefully in his sleep on October 12, 2025 after a long and hard fought battle with cancer. He was 76 years old.

In his early years he worked alongside his family to help create the company of Stucco Stone Products, later known as Cultured Stone. After his retirement he went on to pursue his real passion, hunting and fishing.

He wasn't a particularly social man yet he developed friends with like minded souls up and down the coast because of the love of fishing and talking about fishing. You could not be in a room with him for long before the conversation would turn to fishing. He always said that the worst day fishing was better than the best day working!

He went through life like he fished, he would cast his line hoping for that perfect catch. There were times he would miss, however he would repeat his casting again and again. He may have changed the line, the bait, the rod, or the water, but he never gave up trying. His most important life lessons were learned through persistence and perseverance.

It was his love of fishing that got him in the campground business, where he spent his time in the beautiful redwood forest often just watching the river flow. The fishing cabin and river next to it was his happy place.

All of his kids and grandkids agree that he loved to give lectures on life and they were expected to listen!

"Learn from the mistakes of others, life is too short to make all the mistakes yourself".

He is proceeded in death by his father, Garrett, his brother, Phillip, brother-in-law, Alan Veliquette and his son-in-law Jeffery Harrington.

He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Donna. He is also survived by his mother Beverly Brown, brothers Richard (Julie), Steve (Tina), sisters Christine Velequette, Jeanine Petersen (Mark), his son Dana, his daughter Shelley, his granddaughters Kara Rocha (Alex), Shannon Brown, his great granddaughter Remiah Rocha, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

As per his firm and final request there will be no memorial services.
