Lawrence Tatman

October 31, 1951 - July 7, 2018 Cherokee Memorial is honored to serve the Tatman family.

Rod passed on July 7, 2018, at the age of 66, while doing what he loved, boating and waterskiing on the Delta. He was surrounded by family with his loving partner, Teri, at his side.

Rod was a very loved man; he had a huge family and many friends. He is survived by his life partner, Teri, his parents, Dale and Doreen, his children, Ryan and Jaime (Sean), his beautiful granddaughter, Lillian, Teri’s children, Candice and Travis, his brothers and sisters, Gary (Barbara), Dennis (Laure), and Kelly (Michael), and many nieces and nephews. Rod is preceded in death by his son, Benjamin, and his late wife, Christine.

He had a distinguished career with service for the federal government totaling 37 years. After eight years of serving as the Defense Distribution San Joaquin, California (DDJC) Chief of Installation Operations Division, in November 2007, he became the Site Director of Defense Logistics Agency, San Joaquin until his retirement in January 2013. Before going to DDJC in 1996, he served as the Chief of the Weight Handling Equipment Division, Chief of Crane Engineering Branch, and Chief of the Public Works Utilities/Equipment Engineering Branch at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, CA. He was a 1975 graduate of California State University, Chico with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering. He was a member of the California State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers since 1981.

Rod was very active and believed in living life to its fullest. He spent his retirement traveling the world with Teri, boating, golfing, gardening, hunting with his brothers and son, and enjoying his family. Rod will always be remembered by his family and friends for being very meticulous and organized, taking way too long to make breakfast, his “yes, let’s do it!” and “don’t make it complicated” attitude, making Teri feel loved and supported every day, being tough as nails, his “paddle feet”, being a very “patient” driver, being wrapped around his granddaughter Lillian’s little finger… His happy-go-lucky and active spirit will live on in those who knew and loved him.

Rodney Francis Brown, just shy of 86 years old, passed away on Wednesday, July 4, 2018 while surrounded by his family and loved ones.  He was born on July 14, 1932 to the late Rex Brown and late Elsie (Smith) Brown in Stockton, California.

Rodney was a humble, respectful, witty man’s man.  He had very strong morals and as a dedicated patriot, he chose a career to serve his country and the public with every ounce of his being.  His service started at a young age enlisting with the US Navy from 1951 through 1956. After his service with the Navy, holding an honorable discharge, in 1957 he was hired on with the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy.  With his devotion and dedication to the department advancing through several distinguished positions during his 30 years of service, Lieutenant Brown retired from the Sheriff’s Department. During his career, the Sheriff’s Department received many letters of appreciation from citizens and local businesses, as well as commendations from his supervisors describing him as a “dedicated and loyal person whose integrity is beyond reproach.

Rodney was also a devoted and caring family man.  He loved the great outdoors and traveled throughout the US primarily by way of motorhome and four-wheeling. After retirement, Rod settled in Douglas County, Nevada for the past 25 years, enjoying the games offered in Nevada and relaxing at his home. He returned to Stockton, California in November 2017.

He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Toni Brown, his sister - Rexine Wilson, five children from his previous marriage with the late Betty Brown - Debbie Seely, Dennis Brown, Cheryl Villanueva, Danny Brown and Michael Brown, three step-children - Tristan Boscacci, Peter Boscacci and Doug Boscacci, sixteen grandchildren, one great grandchild along with many nieces, nephews and relatives.

The 4th of July will forever be a reminder of this wonderful, amazing and giving man.
