Monroe/Brodhead – Robert (B5) Brown, age 92, passed away on May 5, 2023 at Pleasant View Nursing Home in Monroe WI.
Robert was born on April 19, 1931 in Reno, NV, the son of Russel and Alma (Thornquist). Bob married Ann Coady on November 29, 1970.
Bob spent most of his younger years farming outside of Rockford, IL. He was drafted into the Army Reserve in 1954 where he served over in France for 2 years. Upon returning home, Bob began his career in the trucking business hauling farm equipment for Studer’s out of Monroe, WI then eventually driving for Schneider National Transport out of Green Bay, WI up until his retirement in 1993.
Bob’s passion was his love for all things Ford and Harley. You could always find him at a car show with his buddies or on the backroads of the countryside riding his motorcycle. He enjoyed watching westerns – especially The Lone Ranger –
and listening to classic country music.
Bob is survived by his wife, Ann Brown; 2 daughters, Dena Brown and Linda (Brown) King; 2 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Gwen Nielson of Rockford, IL.
