If you've spent any time in Costa Brava you've likely had the pleasure of meeting our neighbor, Doug Brown. This afternoon I was saddened to learn of his tragic passing. Doug was full of life and almost always moving at 100 miles an hour. I'll remember his high energy, warm spirit and his love for his family. I can hardly recall a conversation with him when he didn't talk about his family. It was clear that they were the joy of his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as they mourn the loss of Doug and his brother, Daniel.
Bloomingdale has lost a good neighbor and friend, Costa Brava has lost its most enthusiastic advocate and the Brown family has lost a most loving son, brother, father and uncle. Doug will be missed dearly.
Rest well, my friend.
Best,
Teri Janine Quinn

identified the men as 37-year-old Daniel Brown of Lusby and 39-year-old Douglas
Brown of Mechanicsville.
