The sports world is mourning the loss of Bryan Braman, a respected Super Bowl champion and former NFL linebacker, who spent the last two weeks of his life surrounded by his beloved young daughters.

According to close friends, in the weeks leading up to his passing, Bryan prioritized his daughters above all else.

“He was a loving dad to the very end,” shared one longtime friend. “Even when he was weak, his eyes would light up whenever they were around. He wanted to make every moment count.”

Sources confirm that Braman had been quietly managing health complications for some time, choosing to keep the details private to protect his family’s peace.

In his final days at home, he was cared for by his wife, Jennifer, and their two daughters, ages 4 and 7. “Bryan was surrounded by love,” said a family member. “They laughed, played, and made memories that will last forever.”

During this period, the family reportedly declined interviews and kept a low profile, focusing solely on being together. Yet, even behind closed doors, Bryan’s spirit remained strong.

“He would tell stories from his playing days and remind his girls that no matter what, family is everything,” said an intimate friend.
