Former BYU star Curtis Brown mourns death of two-year-old son in drowning
Curtis and Kim Brown of Clovis, California are grieving the loss of their two-year-old son Haze, who died in a drowning accident.
Curtis Brown, a former Brigham Young University running back, and his wife Kim are coping with the tragic drowning of their two-year-old son Haze in Clovis, California. Friends and supporters set up a GoFundMe page, describing Haze as the family’s "miracle baby" and aiming to relieve the Browns of funeral and related costs. The campaign, initiated by Chandler Pearson, has collected more than $71,000, though the circumstances of the drowning remain undisclosed.
Brown, who played for BYU from 2002 to 2006 and briefly joined the Cincinnati Bengals, also parents triplets—Cruze, Julie, and Kash—and another son, Trey. No comment has been made by the family regarding the incident. The fundraiser encourages donations or, for those unable, sharing the page to show community support.
