Dawn and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Randy. He was a special friend to me when I was at the ESO and an outstanding deputy! I'm asking the Lord to give you peace and comfort as only He can during this most difficult time. I look forward to seeing Randy again on the other side.

Dear Brown Family, I first met Randy as a
teammate on a bowling team at the Ensley
bowling center shortly before he became
a court security officer. What a bowler!
I am sad to hear of this and best wishes.

Dawn, David and family, Randy is in a better place now. He was able to share his last days with his family. He will be missed by many, but most of all by all of you. No one will ever be able to take the memories, jokes, stubbornness and all the "I love you" remarks away from any of you. He was a great man and showed his kindness to all around him. He was a very private man so I won't tell the few secrets I happen to know. All of you take care and please give us a call if you need anything.

I am truly saddened by your loss. Randy Brown was a great friend and coworker. We shared a very unique relationship as friends. I was his supervisor in his early years as an officer as well as when he made sergeant. Then he became my supervisor in the last few years before my retirement. He had a true compassion for those he worked with as well those that worked for him. Randy will be truly missed by all.
