It is with sadness that we ask for prayers for our son Richard Graham Brown of Logan Lake, who passed peacefully on July 28th, 2014. Richard was the youngest son of five to Don and Ella (Elisabeth) Brown, and was the brother to Marty, Matthew, Stephen, and Kurtis (wife Melanie). Rick was “Super Uncle” to Summer and Sophie whom he loved so much. Richard is also survived by his loving Grandparents, Bud and June Brown of Nakusp, Joe and Caroline Perszon of Rayleigh, his Aunt Frances of Nelson, Uncle Perry and Aunt Tamis Rombough of Edmonton Alberta, Uncle Rick and Aunt Gayle Perszon of Kamloops, Uncle Ed and Aunt Joanne Perszon of Kamloops, Uncle Hardy Spitman and Aunt Frances Perszon-Spitman of Kamloops and numerous cousins.
Richard loved his family very much. He loved family celebrations. Rick was one of the first ones up on Christmas morning and was gifted at putting a smile on anyone’s face. Rick loved fishing when he could, loved his music, and really enjoyed jamming with his friends. He was blessed with many true friends that supported him, and he often called the Michaelwicz family of Logan Lake his second family.
Our Richard loved bright clothes and apparel that was funky and fun. He had a big heart and was very compassionate to others. He often was the first to say “I love you”. When Rick was a baby his nickname was Rocket Richard. He grew up with many other nicknames like Thomas the Tank Engine, Chard, Rickasaurus, Uncle Reeeek and many others.
We are consoled knowing that Ricks’ struggles are no longer and he has found peace. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to the Ask Wellness Center in Kamloops.

Hi Ella and family. I was saddened to hear of your loss. Your family provided our Riley (then Alexander) alot of fun and grounding which Riley hadn’t really had….for those experiences, I’ve been so grateful for the richness of his time with y’all.
Kim and I and Riley are all living in kelowna now. We’ve just welcomed mom into our home. She has alzheimers so needs 24 hr.care.
