“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
2 Timothy 4:7
Ricky Kevin Brown, son of Sadie Brown Thomas and the late Clifton “Joe” Brown, was born on December 19, 1959 in Durham, North Carolina. On July 24, 2024, our beloved departed this earthly life at his home.
Ricky was a big UNC Tarheels fan. He graduated from Person Senior High School as a member of the “Class of 1978”. He attended the North Carolina A&T State University. Ricky worked in management for Red Lobster for many years. In 2014, he worked at Duke Hospital where his health began to decline. He was very strong and fought his health battle all the way to the end.
Through it all, he always kept that beautiful smile. Ricky loved spending time with his entire family, especially his daughter Rickelle, his son-in-law Bernard, and his precious grandchildren. He loved people and would go out of his way to help anyone who needed his assistance. Loved and appreciated by many, Ricky will be missed immensely.
In addition to his father, Clifton “Joe” Brown, he was preceded in death by two brothers: Clifton A. Brown and Keith Thomas.
