Robin Renee Brown

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Obituary

Robin Renee Brown was born on September 5, 1967, in Detroit, Michigan. On May 30, 2026, after a courageous battle with a terminal illness, God called her home to eternal rest.

As a young child, Robin’s family moved to Oak Park, Michigan, where she spent her formative years. During her school years, she was actively involved in sports and a variety of school activities. It was there that she formed many lifelong friendships, both through school and her church community, relationships she treasured throughout her life.

With an adventurous spirit and a heart full of determination, Robin moved to the Atlanta, Georgia, area shortly after graduating from high school. While Michigan was her birthplace, Georgia became the place she proudly called home. Not long after relocating, she met and married Vincent Brown Sr. Although their marriage eventually ended, together they were blessed with two beloved children and the joy of a cherished granddaughter.

Robin built a full and meaningful life in Georgia. She devoted herself to raising her children, pursued successful business ventures where she served in leadership roles, contributed to various organizations, and became an active and respected member of the football community.

Robin will be remembered as fierce, courageous, confident, and strong, with a vibrant personality that could brighten any room. Her beautiful smile, infectious laughter, and genuine warmth made everyone feel welcome when you met her. She never met a stranger and had a remarkable gift for initially connecting with people. Robin embraced life wholeheartedly and lived it on her own terms with strength, authenticity, and unwavering determination.

Robin was preceded in death by her childhood stepfather, Raymond Leaks.

Robin leaves to cherish her memory her mother,  Carole Ann Harper (David);  her siblings, Suanne Lee Hunt, Raylon Yvette Leaks-May, Raymond Steven Leaks (Ricardia); her son, Vincent Bernard Brown (Melissa); her daughter, Raven Tiara Brown; and her beloved granddaughter, Sophia Rose, along with countless family members to include cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, extended family, dear friends, and all whose lives were touched by her.

Though our hearts are heavy with her absence, we find comfort in the memories she leaves behind.

She will be missed!  

Until we meet again

I am Robin’s neighbor and I offer my condolences to her family🙏🏽. We always waved in passing and initially just had small talk. As time went on we started to engage more and more in lengthy conversations with each other. I remember her being so excited about her son getting married! She was proud of her daughter and her career! She was a proud mom! She was a good neighbor. Thank you for sharing her with us🕊️🕊️🕊️

I met Robin in 1988 when our husbands played in Boston. She took me under her wings. I loved her laugh and that bright smile. Acts 25:15 says “‘God will resurrect our dead love ones” 💔❤️🙏🏽

I first Robin at Mason ES when I had Vincent in my second grade class as a first year teacher. She was so supportive and helpful during this time. She later trusted me to teach Raven when I moved up to 3rd grade. I stayed in touch with her over the years and was so saddened to hear of her passing. I will always remember her smile, laughter, and genuine caring. ♥️

I loved laughing with Robin! Her laugh was infectious!!! I will always be grateful to Robin for trusting me with her two prized possessions- Vincent & Raven- when I was just a young girl myself. I loved caring for them and our daily chats when she would arrive home each day. I will miss you, Robin. ❤️

I wanted to start this memory wall with one simple thing: I miss my mom more than words can explain.

There are so many parts of her I never want to forget—her laugh, the things she would say, the stories she told, her cooking, the way she made people feel, and all of the little moments that made her her.

This photo is one of the last I have with her in the beginning of her illness. When I was working in the news industry she made it her mission to visit me in EVERY city I worked in. This was in Richmond, Virginia. We had bbq, watched movies, got ice cream and truly just had a mommy and daughter weekend. One I will never forget.

So if you loved my mom, knew her, grew up with her, worked with her, laughed with her, or just have a memory of her that still makes you smile, please share it here. A story, a photo, something funny she said, a moment you’ll always remember—anything we would love to hear.

I want this to be a place we can come back to and remember her through all of the people whose lives she touched. ❤️
