“I got the horrible news early in the morning after one of his best friends reached out and said that he took his last breath while surrounded by friends and family,” Stellato told NBC affiliate KPRC in Houston today.
“Bryan, people saw this enormous human being, but his heart was as big as his body. His spirit was so motivating. He was so real and genuine with everybody. That made him special,” he continued, adding:
“It’s hard. I feel like I lost my firstborn. This kid, he gave me his bed every time I came to Philadelphia. He would threaten me if I didn’t stay with him.

It was the final game of his NFL career, but Braman went out in memorable fashion.
After making the game-winning tackle, he celebrated on the field with his two children, Blakely, now 11, and Marlowe, 8.
A GoFundMe stated by Braman’s family offered frequent updates about his condition throughout his battle.
“The main problem has been that Bryan has not been able to recover from the procedures because of his lowered immunity due to all of these treatments,” the GoFundMe reads.
“By the time he was able to recover so he could continue with the chemo, the cancer has grown exponentially faster, and is is now growing around his vital organs.”
