“Downtown” Chad Brown Passes Away
Poker mainstay remembered as an amazing man of integrity.
Chad Brown, who was recently honored by the World Series of Poker with an honorary bracelet for both his work and demeanor in the game of poker, has passed away, ending his hard-fought battle with a rare form of cancer at age 52.
“We all have a choice when it comes to how we want to feel about what’s going on in our lives. If you want to feel like a victim, that’s your choice. I choose not to. I don’t feel like a victim. I feel very blessed with the life that I’ve had, regardless of what happens.” – Chad Brown
An outpouring of heartfelt emotion and condolences flooded social media from the poker community with the news of the poker ambassador’s passing, including from his close friend and ex-wife Vanessa Russo as well as many of the pro players that knew him.
Chad, an avid player of baseball as well as poker, was recently featured in the touching mini-documentary “Faded Glory 2” where his battle with cancer was chronicled.
