Jim Brown, who was born on February 17, 1936, left a legacy that has stood the test of time. From 1957 to 1965, the football player was known for being a fullback for the Cleveland Browns.
Jim was inducted into the football hall of Fame during his career, but he quit at the top of his game to work for civil rights, according to the AP. On May 19, 2023, his wife, Monique Brown, used Instagram to share the sad news that her beloved husband had di*d.
“It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of my husband, Jim Brown,” her note with a picture of them said. “He passed peacefully last night at our LA home. To the world, he was an activist, actor, and football star. T our family, he was a loving and wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Our hearts are broken…” With the sad news that Jim has di*d, here is a better look at his adult children.
