On June 9, 2024, the world bid farewell to an incredible man, Robert Edwin Brown, fondly known as Bobby "the king."

Born on April 8, 1959, in Los Angeles, California, Bobby’s journey in life was one of inspiring resilience, endless generosity, and unshakeable integrity. Bobby made his mark as a beloved resident of Millbrae, California. He was a skilled bartender and waiter whose charm and hospitality made him an unforgettable presence in many lives. However, it was his role as a father that truly defined him. Raising his daughter Amanda alone, Bobby never missed any of her sports games, providing her with unconditional support and ensuring she had the best possible life. Bobby’s life was a testament to hard work, honesty, and loyalty. He enjoyed coaching softball and found joy in faithfully watching his favorite TV shows. Yet it was his incredible sense of humor and intelligence that stood out, always bringing a smile and laughter to those around him. His friends admired his charismatic, friendly nature and will fondly remember his ability to make anyone feel like a cherished companion.

His daughter Amanda shares, "The news of Robert's passing has left me heartbroken. He wasn't just my father but also my greatest cheerleader. I am incredibly grateful for his constant support and encouragement. The way he celebrated my achievements, big and small, is a testament to his amazing heart and character. His love and pride were not just limited to his family but extended to everyone he met. His ever-present smile, his infectious laugh, his immense kindness... those are the things I will always remember about him. My heart is heavy, but it is also filled with gratitude for having had such an extraordinary man as my father."

While we await the announcement of the memorial service dates, we take this time to reflect on the remarkable legacy Bobby left behind. As a dedicated single parent, a steadfast friend, and a community favorite, Bobby’s life was an extraordinary tapestry of love, sacrifice, and humor. Robert Edwin Brown’s life story encourages us to embrace every moment, to act with kindness, and to remain unwavering in our principles. His memory will continue to inspire and uplift us. Bobby "the king" may be gone too soon, but his spirit lives on through the love and laughter he shared with the world.
