Michael D. Brown
January 03, 1957 - May 30, 2004
Birthplace: Edwards Air Force Base, California
Resided In: Benton City Washington
I was born January 3, 1957 to Russell and Janet Brown at Edwards AFB in California. Soon after, we moved to Richland where my father, like my grandfather, worked to strengthen our national defense at the Hanford Site. I attended Jefferson and Spaulding Elementary Schools, Chief Joseph Jr. High, and graduated from Hanford High School in 1975. I was a little too smart for my own good sometimes, but enjoyed basketball and lettered in several sports. I amazingly survived my teenage years.
I met the love of my life, Marcia, at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor in 1975. We married in 1978 during our college years. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from WSU in 1980 (Go Cougs!) and a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering from UW in 1986.
I am very grateful that Battelle hired me in 1980. I have spent nearly 24 years building pilot plants and researching things that make engineers drool, including fuels and chemicals, biotechnology, hazardous waste cleanup, and nuclear technologies. My teams were fortunate enough to be awarded patents, R&D; 100 awards, and Popular Science Magazine awards, and I have traveled all over the world. I was instrumental in “pushing the envelope” - doing real bare-knuckles technology transfer and local economic development in its infancy.
I have had the privilege to serve the community as a volunteer diver with Columbia Basin Dive Rescue since 1983. Together, the team recovers vehicles, drowning victims and evidence in crimes, and provides water safety education. Some of the finest men and women I know continue with this thankless work today.
I am survived by my beautiful wife, Marcia; my wonderful sons Matthew and Marcus; sister Adele; brothers Jeff, Garry, and Roger; my parents Russell and Janet; my Grandma Alice; and numerous in-laws and out-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Melanoma is unforgiving. It now affects 1 in 70. If you haven’t had at least one checkup by a dermatologist by the time you are 30 - do so today.
As with everything, Mom – “Me do it myself!”
Michael completed his journey in this life on May 30, 2004. Surrounded by those who loved him, he swam across the river to begin his new life and into the welcoming arms of those who had been waiting patiently for his arrival so the party could start.
A memorial celebration of Mike’s life will be held on Saturday, June 19th at 10:00AM at Central United Protestant Church, 1124 Stevens Drive, Richland, followed by a reception at the Columbia Basin Dive Rescue building, 1960 Butler Loop, Richland.
Mike requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to Columbia Basin Dive Rescue at 1960 Butler Loop, Richland WA 99352.

Birthplace: Plympton, England
Resided In: Richland Washington USA
cemetery: Sunset Memorial Gardens
Malcolm Warn peacefully passed into eternity December 15, 2003 in his home after a short battle with mesothelioma.
Malcolm was born in Plympton, England, February 22, 1936. His experiences as a child during World War II, when his home was destroyed by the Germans during the Battle of Britain, helped develop his sharp wit and independent spirit in later years. In the 1950s, after receiving his invitation letter from the Queen, Malcolm joined the Royal Air Force and was stationed in the Middle East and Africa. After leaving service, he attended college in London where he met Celine, his wife of 40 years. They were blessed with two children, Brian and Una.
In England, Malcolm was part of the development team that produced the Concorde. In 1969, he moved his young family to the United States, where he continued his career-long occupation as an engineer in the aerospace and nuclear industries. He and his family lived in several West Coast cities before ultimately residing in the Tri-Cities. Malcolm retired in 2001.
Malcolm is survived by his loving wife, Celine; son Brian Warn and his wife Renita; daughter Una Carriera and her husband Richard; and five grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters in England, Dagmar, Evelyn and Kathleen, his brother Frederick, and their spouses; many nieces and nephews and other relatives in England, Ireland and Scotland. Malcolm was preceded in death by his parents Marie and Freddy Warn and his dear paternal grandmother, Eyre.
A rosary will be held on Wednesday, December 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Einan’s Funeral Home with a memorial mass to follow December 18 at 12:00 p.m. at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Kennewick.
