Mineral Point - Robert C. Brown, age 81, of Mineral Point, passed away peacefully on May 3rd, 2023 at home surrounded by his family, following an extended illness.
Bob was born on May 30, 1941 to Charles and Anna Marie (Reger) Brown. He grew up farming in Dodgeville and attended Dodgeville schools. Dad was a handyman and jack of all trades. He could problem solve and fix just about anything. He spent many years working at Wayne's Amoco and nights at Nelson Muffler. Dad enjoyed camping and playing euchre with special friends Jack and Elaine Thomas. Dad enjoyed the simple things and was the most easy going and content man you could ever meet. Although not a fan of traveling, beaches or theme parks, Dad willingly drove his family across the country to destinations like Daytona Beach, Disney World and the Grand Canyon.
Bob married the love of his life, Barbara Yanna, on June 20, 1964. Bob and Barb were blessed with 5 daughters and later added 5 sons-in-law and 15 grandchildren to their crew.
Bob is survived by his wife of 59 years, five daughters - Kris (John) Parod, Denise (Steve) Gorgen, Cory (Jay) Walsh, Lori (Mike) Lynch, and Leann (Shawn) Larson; grandchildren Kellyn, Jamie and Tommy Parod, Joey, Jake and Jaynie Gorgen, Jori and Abby Walsh, Britany, Bobby and Brady Lynch, and Makenna, Kaden, Laynie and Emma Larson. Bob is further survived by his sister, Marlene (Bob) Ludlum, brother-in-law Duane Yanna, sister-in-law Mary (Donnie) Thomas and many nieces and nephews.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, May 9, 2023 at 12:00 noon at St. MARY'S & PAUL'S CATHOLIC CHURCH in Mineral Point. Fr Michael Tarigopula will officiate.
