Former college football star’s 2-year-old son drowns in tragic incident

Former BYU football star Curtis Brown and his wife Kim are mourning the death of their two-year-old son, Haze Brown. The child died this past weekend after a drowning accident in the couple's home swimming pool. Despite immediate efforts by family members and medical personnel to provide emergency care, the boy was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Curtis Brown played as a running back for Brigham Young University from 2002 to 2006. He remains the all-time leading rusher in the history of the BYU program with 3,193 yards. After his college career, he signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent.

Following the news of this tragedy, a community fundraising campaign has been established to support the Brown family. Organized by Chandler Pearson, the effort aims to assist with funeral costs and other sudden expenses. Supporters have already contributed over $86,000 to the fund.

Those looking to assist the family during this period of grief can find the campaign through established donation platforms. The loss of a child is an extreme hardship, and the community response reflects the impact Curtis Brown had during his time on the field.
