Richard Raymond Brown, 67, went to be with his Lord on December 31, 2020. He passed at his home after suffering from breathing difficulties.

Richard was the son of Thomas Richard and Joyce Brown, (who have passed).

He attended Roosevelt Elementary school, T H Bell Junior High and Bonneville High school.

After graduation, he joined the U.S.A.F. Upon completing basic training he received orders to Vietnam. After his tour ended, he was stationed in Pease, New Hampshire where he worked on several types of aircraft and later became a crew chief on C-135’s. Richard separated from the US Air Force and went to work as an aircraft mechanic at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah. He joined the Navy reserves and later the USAF Guard where he served in the Kosovo campaign. He worked at Hill Air Force for 38 years.

Richard was a founding member of WAM, or Wasatch Aero Modelers. His love of RC planes and later, RC jets would consume a great deal of his time.
