Leroy Dale Brown served in the U.S. Navy.
Deputy Sheriff Leroy Brown was shot and killed by a man he had arrested several months earlier. He was eating in the Dairy Burger restaurant in Bowie, Arizona when the man saw him and entered the establishment. The subject ordered a hot cup of coffee and then approached Deputy Brown. He threw the coffee into Deputy Brown's face, and as Deputy Brown stood up, he shot him twice. The man then fled to a nearby school and committed suicide. Deputy Brown was a U.S. Navy veteran of the Korean War and served with the Cochise County Sheriff's Department for five months.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.

Thank you for your service to the Bisbee community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
