Ricky Fred Brown, age 57, went home to Jesus on November 28, 2014.  Rick was born in San Jose, CA on January 28, 1957.
He lived there for 30 years where he met the love of his life Elizabeth Pinon.  They married and bought a home and moved to Modesto in 1986 and they both commuted back to the Bay Area all those years.  His job was at Safeway Corporate in Pleasanton.  Rick was a fun loving, funny guy who sometimes lived on the edge.  He lived life to the fullest.  He had skydiving on his bucket list- however wasn’t strong enough in the last couple years to fulfill that dream.
   He was survived by his wife Elizabeth Brown, stepson Joey Pinon, mother Linda Machado, father, Manuel Brown, stepfather, Larry Machado, sister, Patricia White Buffalo, brothers Robert Brown wife Kim, and Ron Brown, nephew Jamie Brown and his wife Maired, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
   In lieu of floweers, contributions can be made to The American Cancer Society.
   A celebration of life service will be at PL Fry Mortuary, in Manteca on Thursday, December 4, 2014 at 11a.m. reception to follow.
