It has been talked about a lot this week. There were tweets going around on Saturday that he had passed away but they were false. It will happen any day now though - very sad.

He was a very healthy person and took great care of himself. Cancer is a nasty disease that we need to be able to cure.

It sucks when your primary source of light can give you cancer :(

He passed away. So sad:

"Chad Brown rubbed elbows with James Bond, faced down a maniacal killer, won a baseball championship, and earned more than $3.6 million playing a card game. A model, actor, baseball player, and poker legend, Brown lived his entire life earning a living in ways that most people believed impossible. He died today in New York City after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 52 years old."

It's always said to see someone go at such an age. It reminds us just how short and precious life is.
