Richard Brown, Iii

Richard Earl Brown, III was born on October 11, 2001, in Columbus, OH to Darshika Sandridge and Richard Brown, II. Richard was an inquisitive child from the beginning and always kept his mother and father on their toes. Richard was very family oriented and spending time amongst family brought him great joy.

Richard had a love for spoken word, arts, and music. He talked about his dreams and aspirations of becoming a veterinarian. Many would describe Richard as, “the wild child”, “stubborn”, “sensitive”, “brave”, “loving”, “funny”, or “outgoing”. Richard loved to rap, sing, dance, picking with his nieces and nephew, and finding small tasks to help around his home.

Richard is preceded in death by his grandmother, Sherri Brown; grandfather, Donald Sandrige; and Uncle Santana Brewer. Richard will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Darshika Sandridge; father, Richard (Jaronna) Brown, III; sisters, I’Shala (Charles) Reynolds, Lotisha McCardell, Ashaina, and Amiya Brown; brothers, Justin Hemphill, and Javion Brown; nieces, Nayleah, Cassidy, Mi’Raya, Journee, and Joy; nephew, Carter; and a host of other family and friends. Richard will be truly missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
