Mr. Erich Lee Brown was born on October 16, 1968 in Rochester, New York to Camellia and Leroy Brown. Erich was raised in Rochester and he continued to reside there throughout adulthood.
Erich had a strong relationship with God; he was baptized at the age of 13. There wasn’t a day that he would not say his prayers before going to bed. He was a charismatic, strong willed, kind, generous, thoughtful and loving person. He was a fighter, protector, comforter and a best friend; he valued family over anything else. He loved to laugh, socialize and hangout with his family and close friends. He was a devoted husband and father that would do anything for his family to ensure their happiness. Erich was the kind of person that would give a perfect stranger the last dollar in his pocket or literally the clothes off of his back. He was an exceptional human being who had a heart of gold and a smile that would light up a room. Erich enjoyed watching and playing sports and was a passionate basketball fan. His favorite players were Michael Jordan and Lebron James. We will miss his laughter, friendship, love and kindness.
