Robert was raised in Topeka and loved to recall and laugh over simpler times with friends and family in the old neighborhoods of Northland Manor, Avondale East, and Cullen Village. Known by many as "Bob", Robert graduated from Washburn Rural High School, where he left notable impressions in the jazz band on the baritone saxophone, as a strong forward on the Jr. Blues basketball squad, and fond friendships. After graduation, he worked for years at Frito-Lay in Topeka before discovering his love of driving 18-wheelers, which he did for several years, allowing him to see much of the U.S. After Topeka, Robert resided in Kansas City, MO, and Marshall, MO, before settling his family in Sedalia, MO. Robert appreciated simple things: his KU Jayhawks basketball, his Kansas City Chiefs, and a round of golf a few times a year. He insisted on a quiet life, the love of family, and unwavering faith. Robert lived bravely with kidney disease, which he battled with determination and quiet dignity for several years. Living to treasure Robert's life and love are his wife, Beth, who he married in 2005, and to that union were born two sons: Aeshione' and JayShawn. Robert's legacy lives further in his eldest son, Robert Earl Emmanuel Brown III (Chelsea) (Topeka, KS). Robert is survived by his adoring mother, Leona Brown Lyman (Topeka, KS); sisters Crescentia Brown (Richmond, CA) and Sharita Davis (Topeka, KS); nephews and niece Michael Davis, Gabriel Davis, and Lauryn Davis (each in Topeka, KS).
