William James Brown

William “Bill” Brown, born on March 24, 1967, to Bill and Earline Brown, passed away unexpectedly on January 1, 2026. He grew up loving to surf and go off-roading in the desert at Ocotillo Wells, often testing the limits of both bike and rider—with a grin to show he survived. Bill spent time in Riverside, California, Colorado Springs, and eventually made his home in Tucson, Arizona, treasuring the friendships and moments he shared along the way.

He is survived by his son, Jake, and his mother, Earline Brown. Friends and loved ones who knew him will carry his memory forward, remembering the connections he made and the stories shared about him.
