The family of D’Andre Brown, age 38, has requested the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany him to his final resting place for military honors. It is our honor to do so.
D’Andre proudly served our country as a United States Marine from August 2000 to his honorable discharge at the rank of Staff Sergeant in August 2015. D’Andre was deployed multiple times to Iraq.
After his discharge D’Andre went to work for Verizon as a cell technician from 2015 to 2018 when he was promoted to a project manager where he remained until his untimely passing.
D’Andre enjoyed fishing and swimming and just taking off and riding his Harley for a little wind therapy. He was very supportive of his children with their sporting events as well. He truly loved spending time with his family and watching movies with them. The Marvel action movies were among his favorite.
D’Andre is survived by his wife Cindy, two children, a son Derek and a daughter Leah, his mother Mary Brown and siblings Daphine Crestwell and Dominique Brown.
We honor D’Andre who signed on the dotted line to protect and serve our country so we can proudly salute you. We humbly honor you.
