Vander Jerod Brown was born on March 13, 1973, in Fernandina Beach, Florida, as the son of Rose Swain and Vander Brown. He was affectionately known to many as "Rod". He received his formal education in Nassau County Public Schools.
Vander was preceded in death by his parents, Rose Swain and Vander Brown; sister, Mary Lee Swain Sassnett.
Vander Brown leaves to cherish his memories: his daughter, Tanisha Brown; sister, Inez (Kenneth) Stewart; brothers, Dr. Jimmie L.R. (Dr. Sandra) Green, Leroy P. "Bally" (Rose Mary) Swain, Felix (Brenda) Swain, David T. (Antoinette) Brown; Henry D. (Arlene) Green from another mother; uncle, Clarence Brown; aunt, Josephine Brown; granddaughter, TA'Liayah Brown; grandson, Titus Bowen; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many devoted friends.
We extend a "special thanks" to his manager "Katy" and her staff at the "Tasty's Restaurant" where "Rod" worked. He started his career in the cooking industry after leaving school and became a chef.
