Ryan Philip Iverson Brown, of Elkhart, IN, passed away Friday, September 25, 2020, at the age of 34.

Ryan was born to Rodney and Marilyn (Iverson) Brown in Elkhart, IN on August 19, 1986.  He graduated from Elkhart schools.

Ryan was a chemical etcher at Atlas Chem-Milling in Elkhart for over 14 years.

He met Elise Terpstra through friends, true love from the start.  Ryan genuinely had a heart of gold.  He was a special gift from God who truly loved Elise and showed her how precious she truly is.  Their love for each other was an example all of us should strive for.  His heart was as big as he was, and it showed in everything he did, and to all that he came in contact with.

They married on December 21, 2019, at an intimate ceremony at her families' home in Lawton, Michigan.

Ryan and Elise have a boston terrier named Sophie and a mini potbellied pig named Hank.  Ryan enjoyed Hank and sharing marshmallows with him.

He was a die-hard Steelers fan!
