Robert Brown Obituary

Brown, Robert Miller

February 25, 1957 - May 20, 2025

Robert Miller Brown passed away suddenly on May 20, 2025 in St. Louis, MO. Bob was the beloved husband of Julia Fitch Brown, cherished father of Meredith (Brown) Noto and Carol Brown, treasured father-in-law of AJ Noto, and proud grandfather of Clark Miller Noto. He was born on February 25, 1957 in Pittsburgh, PA to Robert Miller Brown, Sr and Thelma Bock Brown. Bob was predeceased by his parents as well as his in-laws, Coy and Rachel Fitch. He is also survived by his dear cousins, Amy (Philip) Koloski, Richard (Sharon) Woll and Peter (Catherine) Woll, who were like siblings to him. Bob also treasured the friendship that he had with his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Jaquelyn and James Fleckenstein.

Bob graduated from Pittsburgh's Upper St. Clair HS in 1975 and Dartmouth College in 1979, where he majored in Economics and studied in France. Bob earned JD and MBA degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and became a CPA in 1983.

Bob very proudly worked in public accounting for forty-two years, starting with Arthur Andersen in Dallas and ending with Forvis Mazars in St. Louis. He also worked for an extended period for Alpern Rosenthal/BDO in Pittsburgh. His area of expertise was International Tax; he never tired of learning new ways to help his clients. He enjoyed the intellectual challenge and the relationships that he developed in his practice and was still employed at the time of his death.

Bob spent many pleasurable hours listening to public radio and, in lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations to the NPR Foundation, 1111 N Capital St NE, Washington, DC 20002-7501, or to a charity of your choice.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Saint Louis Woman's Club, 4600 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108 on Friday, June 20, 2025 from 4-6 p.m.
