Dale Brown's Celebration of Life ceremony and reception was filled with fond memories of a life well lived. I'm so grateful to have known Coach Brown and honored to have attended the evening. Daddy Dale touched so many lives in so many different ways, including mine. He was not just a basketball coach. He was a prophet of love and kindness to a diversity of people. Listening to the stories both well known and unknown from fellow players is a testament to his character and generosity. His legend will live on with his wife Vonnie and his beautiful family who were all in attendance. I'm so appreciative to have spent the evening with longtime friends (yes, we have the same eyeglasses now) , , . It was also a great pleasure meeting and becoming friends. I also reconnected with long time gf who gave a very heartwarming speech and presented Coach Brown's family with the Coach's Legacy Award. The evening was filled with moving speeches from former players like and . The evening started with a beautiful private reception in the men's basketball practice course under the Pete Maravich center where LSU Athletic Director gave a beautiful welcome to all in attendance. Thank you for making it possible! Like Shaquille said ... Go tell everyone you care about "I love you" while you still can. LOVE Y'ALL
