A funeral service for Tohono O’odham police Officer Bryan Brown will be held Saturday in Sahuarita.

Brown was killed Aug. 27 when he and other officers responded to a report of an armed and erratic driver.

The service will begin at 10 a.m. at Desert Diamond Casino Sahuarita, according to a statement from the Tohono O’odham Nation.

Only invited guests can attend inside the building, but there will be an overflow tent outside providing additional seating. COVID-19 precautions, such as face masks and social distancing, will be in effect.

The public is encouraged to view the service via Facebook Live on the Tohono O’odham Police Department’s page.

Brown “will receive full law-enforcement honors, including a procession of law enforcement vehicles, 21-gun salute, and flyover.”

He was a U.S. Army veteran and was with the Police Department for 19 years. He is survived by his wife, seven children, eight grandchildren, seven siblings and his father.
