Ben Ronald Brown, 53, of Deerfield Beach, FL, passed away on Wednesday, November 28, 2018.
Originally from Asheville, NC, he was the son of the late Luther and Clara-Mae Brown.
Ben was an avid motorcyclist and outdoorsman. He lived his life by the motto, "if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space." He will be remembered by his family for his charismatic story-telling, his unapologetic "telling it like it is", his love for AC/DC, his passion for adventure, but mostly, for his heart.
Ben is survived by his wife, Geetha Brown; four children, Shivan Samaraweera of Durham, NC, Ruwan Samaraweera and his wife Kasey of Fort Collins, CO, Ravin Samaraweera and his partner Monica McMichael of Durham, NC, and Tamara Donovan (nee Brown) and her husband Patrick of Jacksonville, FL; two brothers, Erik Brown and his wife Donna of Hendersonville, NC, and Rex Brown and his wife Glenda of Leicester, NC; and two grandchildren, Kanon and Peyton.
Funeral services will be held on Sunday, December 2, 2018, at Horizon Funeral Services in Lighthouse Point, FL, with visitation from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM, and a celebration and reflection of life from 4:00 - 6:00 PM.
