Ramon George Brown, 86 and living with dementia, walked away from his family’s farm in Dolores, Colorado, on the evening of July 14, 2019. He was last seen wearing a white and light blue checkered shirt, gray slacks, black shoes and possibly a dark blue or black ball cap. His family searched locally before notifying authorities that evening.

The Montezuma County Sheriff’s Office and Montezuma County Search and Rescue mounted an extensive four-day search with numerous volunteers, multiple K-9 teams from local and out-of-town units, and help from area fire departments using ATVs and trucks to cover roughly a 1¾-mile radius around the home. Some dogs showed mild interest in a few areas but no solid clues emerged and the official search was suspended after four days. Family and volunteer teams continued searching in subsequent years with no positive results.

A petition to the court resulted in a presumed death certificate issued January 1, 2025, and a memorial and celebration of life was scheduled for July 1, 2025, at the Cortez Church of Christ. Does anyone in the Dolores or Cortez area remember seeing Ramon around July 14, 2019, or have information that could still help his family?
