Super Bowl Champion Dies At 38 After Aggressive Cancer Battle

Sean P. Stellato, his agent, announced his passing on Thursday.

Two daughters are left behind by the Spokane, Washington native.A journeyman edge rusher, Braman played mainly on special teams and once blocked a punt in a divisional-round playoff game. He attended three colleges prior to spells with the Houston Texas, Eagles, New Orleans Saints, and Eagles again.

His NFL career came to an end in February 2018 as the Eagles won Super Bowl LII.

A GoFundMe campaign to pay for Braman’s medical bills later disclosed his unidentified ailment, which was diagnosed in February. JJ Watt, a former teammate of his, gave $10,000 personally, while others, like Emmanuel Acho, shared the news on social media.

A June 20 update by organizer William Jones explained that “Bryan is home with his family after undergoing a Car-t cell reprogramming treatment program in Seattle.”

His cells began’reproducing within his bone marrow,’ and the Car-t cell reprogramming initially seemed to be successful, Jones said. However, Jones clarified, the “cancer started fighting back” as the mass started to diminish.

“Bryan has not given up,” Jones wrote. “He is looking into other trial treatment programs, and is determined to never give up.”

Braman received close to $90,000 from the GoFundMe effort.

“At Stellato Sports, Bryan Braman has always stood for strength, resilience and leadership,” Stellato told KPRC 2 in Houston prior to his death. “He is a pillar and a staple of the underdog.”
