My prayers and thoughts go out to the Brown family. Dr. Brown was my doctor. He had a gift given straight from God. He spoke highly of his son (whom is the same age as myself...as he always said) and he always told me to follow my dreams. I'm sad that I couldn't have told him how I looked up to him and his many accomplishments. May the Brown family go to their creator and find solitude at this time of sorrow. God Bless.

Gloria, I just want to express my heartfelt sympathy to you and the children at this time of bereavement. Dr. Brown was Bob's good friend and personal medical consultant. I will always remember the conversations we had and the encouragement he gave to me during my husbands illness and passing. I will always love this man for just being there for us, and I must say that I know your grief is heavy right now, but keep on and stay strong in the Lord. We will continue to pray for your family and know that you've got a friend in me.
Sorrowfully submitted

Dr. Brown was a great friend and confidant to my father and mother and he will be greatly missed. My mother Gloria is still in disbelief and shock over his passing. We loved him so much and he will be greatly missed by this family. I will be praying for you Mrs. Gloria and the children. Thanks again for sharing Doc with all of us.

My prayers and thoughts are with the family of Dr. Brown. I know God will comfort you during this time.
I was a patient of Dr. Brown since 1988. He provided most of my medical care since I became an adult and moved to Jacksonville. He was highly competent and always willing to take time to listen during my visits with him. I will miss his care for me as a patient and miss the medical advice and sense of humor he provided during my visits
Sincerely,

To the Family of Dr.Robert Brown. May God be with you during your time of sorrow and lost of just a great man. I worked with Dr. Brown during his internship at University Family Pratice Center on Lila St. It was a joy coming to work, he always kept us laughing and always talked about his family and especially spending time with his kids. Dr. Brown always said that when he open his own practice it would be in his neighborhood, (BLACK)!!! And he kept his promise where as a lot of us did not, and he also would alway say he plan to give back to his community and he did that as well, he was a man who not only was a great Doctor, but a man of his words. I will truley miss stopping by the office just to say hello, and thank him for all he done for my family through out the years. May you rest in peace Doc!!

To the Brown Family
Dr. Brown was my father's doctor and "home boy" from Quitman, Georgia. Two weeks ago, Dr. Brown spoke at my father's (Rev. Eugene Rose) wake. I was so touched that he would take the time out of his busy schedule to come and be with us and speak about his patient. That was a compassionate act and one the spoke to the type of doctor and person that he was. Please know that my family and I are praying for your strength through this difficult period. At this time of grief in my life, I am hanging on the promises of God that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". I am sending this thought as I comfort to you too as such a dedicated physician, community servant, father, husband and Christian is in a better place. No one can understand the grief you feel but remember "earth has not sorrow that heaven cannot heal."

I had met Dr. Robert Brown 3 years ago at Winn-Dixie corporate.right than he became a good friend and he had encourage me to keep the strength during the trials during my mother's illness last year. Dr. Brown had the most uplifting personality a well as spirit,everytime he would call W/D corporate office, he always tell us Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Which he define that as everyday is Christmas and Happy new year's. He will be missed very much and we know now he is in a good place, with our Lord or savior.
God Blessed the Brown family.

Dr. Brown always cared about people. As a respiratory therapist at "University Hospital" (now Shands Jacksonville), I worked with him for a number of years. He was always approachable, friendly, He cared about his patients, and always ready to laugh. Years after his residency, I would see him outside the Hospital and he'd always greet me and ask about my family. He was a real person. He's missed by us but welcomed home by God!

After the initial shock of the tremendous loss to our community, my reflective thoughts of Dr. Brown bring a smile to my face. Although he was a caring physician and serious about his profession, he had a great sense of humor and could be very funny at times. He laughed easily and could find something humorous to say about almost anything. No doubt, even amidst all the hurt his family is going through right now, he would probably still find something comical to say - just to try to ease their pain. So when I think of him I will not only remember him as a friend, a devoted husband and father, a gifted physician, and a "country boy" turned savy businessman. I will also remember someone who readily shared a conversation and a laugh or a smile with just about anyone who had the same few minutes he did. I will miss running into him in Walgreens or Winn Dixie or in the street somehere and listening to him joke or laugh about something. I know his family will miss him beyond measure. You have my profound sympathy.

To the Brown family- May God Bless you and keep you strong. My prayers are with you. Dr. Brown was a great man. I will never forget how he has touched everyone in our family. He was there for ALL of my family members. I don't know of anyone else like him who cared so much not just for his patients, but for our community as well. He will surely be missed. However, I can only smile when I think about him being in Heaven. Remember, God knows best and he will NEVER put more on you, than you can bear.
God Bless you from the Thompson Family-Karen, Jule, Andrew, Jeanine, Tony, Anthony, Jovanna, Kenne, Kendra, Kierra, AJ and Trinity.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of the late Dr. Robert L. Brown. He was a very admirable man always positive in spirit and in spoken word. I did not have the opportunity to thank him personally for attending my father's funeral viewing in August. However, I will say a special prayer in remembrance of his life and good deeds. He will be greatly missed whenever I go into Winn Dixie or even visit the Soutel area. Rest in peace Dr. Brown...

I had the pleasure of being one of Bob's classmates in medical school. I always envied him as he knew exactly what he wanted out of life. He wanted to take care of people. He was a simple man who loved his patients and was loved by his patients. Every doctor should be jealous of him as he did it the right way. I'm sure that God has plans for this angel.

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. The mind, body, nor soul knows no joy that time will reveal. Weeping lasts only for a night, but joy will come in the morning. Your morning is coming. Please keep the faith. God is in control of everything! Nothing slips by Him. He wiil provide for your every need.
Dr. Brown was a good man. A good doctor. A good friend. He took care of me and my family's health care needs from the day he opened his practice here on Soutel. We will miss him and his wonder sense of humor. I am so glad to know that I met a man in my life time that had fame, fortune, power, position, money and a wonderful personality. I call that a rare jewel. Most people in that category make themselves inaccessible to others. Dr. Brown had time for the common man.
Our prayers are with your entire family as you recover from this sudden and unexpected loss.

To the family of a great man I knew as cousin. when I married his cousin Willie F. Brown Jr. he was such a wonderful person everytime he saw us I was always adressed as" hey, there cuz" and with a great smile. He always no matter where his two little cousins were in the hospital for this or in the hospital for that, he always made it his business to pop in and check on them every ache & pain they had to go see cuz with out a doubt.
He will truly be missed and thought of in Winn Dixie,The Tax Collectors Office, the Dr. Office or just in the streets he was loved by the two girls with every bit of heart and soul so just remember 'GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES AND HE'S TO JUST TO MAKE A MISTAKES.
You're in our prayers just look to the hills which cometh all our help and always remember JOY WILL COME IN THE MORNING.

Dear Mrs. Gloria & family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy and know that you are not alone as you carry this heavy cross. We will keep you, your family and Dr. Brown in our prayers. God knows the heart of man and He rewards our efforts to walk in His ways.
I knew Dr. Brown through UF/Shands and served as the Administrator of Soutel Family Practice for two years. I learned a great deal working with Dr. Brown and the staff. I will always treasure my growth process both personally and professionally.
Dr. "B" had a big heart and his wife and children were at the very center. He spoke of you often with great respect. He shared many life stories about his journey and accomplishments. He always gave God the GLORY and his family the credit for his success. He loved you with a rare passion and eveyone knew it.
His tenacity to overcome adversity and his perserverance was an inspiration to all that knew him. Despite his own burdens and trials, he did so much for so many and never expected anything in return. Three months ago, my husband and I lost our 19 year old son,"Chris" when he was killed in a car accident. It meant so much to look up and see Dr. "B" at the vigil. His strentgh, compassion and genuine words of faith will remain with me forever.
Dr. "B" always greeted me with a "Merry Christmas", even in July. At first, I thought it was a strange way to greet people, but after I got to know him it made perfect sense. "Merry Christmas" was a metaphor for the way he lived his life. He always looked at the positive side of everthing and lived everyday like it was Christmas. At times, like everyone, the weight of the world rested on his shoulders, but you would never know it. He delighted in giving to others and providing a helping hand. He always took time for God's people and tried to live by the principles instilled by his daddy. "Merry Christmas" was his own special way of proclaiming an "Attitude of Graditude" for his many blessings from above.
Being an idea man, I am sure he is in heaven working out a deal with St. Peter for "Dr. Bob's Holy Water", "Paradise Real Estate", "Medical Director" of the "Heavenly Healing Clinic", A "Gospel Grocery Store" or at the very least, he is requesting special blessings for his wife and children.
"Merry Christmas" Dr. "B"!
"Our hearts are broken, but it is
well with our soul"

Many a great memory is kept in our hearts of Bob's kindness, humor, and dedication. Please know how much we are thinking of you now as our hearts hurt.
We Love You All-

To the Brown family, my prayers are with you. Dr. Brown will truly be missed by his patience and the Northside Community where he gave so much. I called the office Thursday Aug 25th and got an appointment the same day. Before I left we talk about our children and Dr. Bob Water. He even pulled Dr. Bob Water up on the Internet for me. He was so proud of his children and often said it.
He has been our family doctor for over fifteen years. We will get another doctor but never like Dr. Brown.

To: Mrs. Gloria Brown, children and family;
It really saddens our hearts to hear of Dr. Brown's passing. But we rejoice to known that he's in his new home with his heavenly Father. Dr. Brown has been our family doctor since he first opened his office. No matter how much pain or how sick I was when I went to the office; he'd always say something that made me laugh. He was such a caring and good person, he was a proud Georgia native. But above all he LOVED his wife and children. I've never met you Mrs. Brown; but I feel as though I know you, because he ALWAYS talked about Gloria (he loved his wife). Dr. Brown and my husband were good friends; he'd go to the office on Saturday's while my husband cut the grass and talk with him and sometimes, he'd tell him to stop and take a break and they'd go have lunch. They had long talks some evenings after the office was closed. My husband lost a good friend and we have lost a good and caring doctor.
We are praying that God will give you and your family much strength during your time of bereavement. We will always be available if you need us. Lesthea and Tony Sorrye and family.

The family Of Dr.(Doc) Robert Brown
As a patietnt of Doc Browns for years I would like to offer my sympathy at this your time of sorrow . He was a truely careing doctor to us all. He lifted the area community up,and no matter where he was or who he was with if he saw you out in public he took the time to stop and say Hi, chat and joke with you . Not many doctors would do that, but he would and did ! That was just the kind of man he was. He will greatly be missed by us all as well .

My deepest sympathy goes out to Dr. Brown's family.
Several times a month I would see or have lunch with Bob at the West Jacksonville Rotary meeting. I would say hello Dr. Brown and he would always say call me plain old Bob. Humble, friendly and generous. Our conversations always centered around his family. We will all miss his smile and humor but we will never forget the man with a passion for the Lord, his family, his patients and his friends.

Had it not been for Bob Brown, from Quitman, Ga. (as he always said proudly) I probably would not be here today. He diagnosed my physical illness and secured the treatment I needed. Through Dr. Brown's interventions, by the grace of God I am still alive today. He was also a true friend to me, with that great sense of humor. He always tried to help others and never forgot from whence he came.
We will sorely miss him. I'm not worried about where he is now because I know he knew the Lord. He spoke highly of his family and the love he had for "Gloria, the children, his brothers and sister". My prayers will always be with his family.
Trust in God and believe in His son, Jesus Christ, and we shall all see Dr. Brown again. This is my consolation and I hope it will be yours, too. May God give you the strength you need to endure this and continue to move on in peace.
With deepest Sympathy,

I would like to express my condolences to the family of Dr. Brown.He was a good doctor to me and my family for a number of years. He took care of my mother, children, sister as well as myself. I was just in the office on Tuesday and now here on this day I sit typing these words. It's so hard to believe. So many things to say and never enough time inwhich to say them. I will miss Dr. Brown. I have never had a doctor I was so comfortable with. He will truly be missed. Thinking of you always, The Donald-Sewell family.

Dear Gloria, Rough and the rest of the Brown family;
Words can not express my deep sorrow over your loss. Through business Dr. Brown and I became good friends. Word reached me Thursday in a meeting out of state and the rest of the day I was in dispair and shock because I had lost a good friend. I was also sad because he and I had not talked in some time. How I wished I had called him all those times he crossed my mind.
Robert and I would meet for lunch most of the time we could get together and I have to tell you that the conversation always turned to his family and his wife. Gloria he loved you deeply. He told me several times that all he wanted to do was to take care of you. He would tell me that all he needed from me was anything that could help you. He talked so fondly of you and with such respect. He taught me many things about taking care of your family and having your priorites in order.
A lot of our talk would be about Rough but he always mentioned how he was proud of all of his children. He loved each of you so much and often told me so.
I know that Robert is in a better place because we would talk of Church and love for the Lord. We all are left behind to be saddened by his sudden departure but I am so grateful that I got to know him. I'll never forget him and I will miss him.
My prayers go out to you all.

To the Family of Dr. Brown:
My mother, Roberta Rasbery, has shared stories with me of the life and principles of Dr. Brown. They shared something in common with the both of them being raised in Georgia and coming from families which taught positive life-living principles. She spoke so highly of him and told me of all his accomplishments that I felt I knew him personally. I never knew he was such a young man. It saddens me greatly to learn of his passing. I would like to offer you my condolences and prayers during this difficult time. Please know that his mission here on earth is complete and he is hearing the Savior say "Well done, my good and faithful servant, well done". His legacy lives on in the many he's helped along the way. What a great epitaph that is. I pray comfort and peace for you and rest assured that God will help you through this difficult time. May God continue to bless you all.
In the love of Christ always,
Linda Rasberry
