Passing of an American Hero

With great sadness and a heavy heart, our American hero has laid down his sword.

Lt. Colonel Robert K. Brown, founder of Soldier of Fortune magazine, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2026.

His wish was to quietly disappear, with no fanfare or attention. The love of his life, Marie, has honored the Colonel's wish for privacy until today, November 2nd, the 95th birthday of our Patriot and Legend, RKB.

I will miss him dearly.

Randy Luth and family, and all Warriors of America
