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.

Richard Brown III was an amazing young man. I had the pleasure of working with him on numerous occasions over the past years. He was always helpful willing to lend a hand, cracking jokes , acting silly but as long as u would keep him busy he was find. He was always protective of his siblings as a big brother should often referring to nobodies going to mess with my (brothers or sisters ). We shared plenty of talks about life and what goals he wanted to accomplish when he got older. The last time I physically seen Richard he ran up to me and gave me a big hug and we talked about 30 mins we both have something in common we love to talk. Ms DOUGIE is going to miss you and my heart deeply goes out to your family. Rest Easy God Got You Now
