PWInsider.com is sad to pass that "Caulifower" Chase Brown, who competed in the Carolinas, for WWN and for Ring of Honor passed away on 10/13. He was only 41 years old.
Brown's passing was announced by Carolina Wrestling Channel, which announced, "It is with a heavy heart and much sadness to announce Chase Brown passed away [Tuesday] night. Chase Brown was a multi-talent individual who has shared his life through professional wrestling, music, acting, and various mediums of expressionism. Known as ‘Cauliflower’ Chase Brown, he has wrestled for various promotions across the southeast including Trans-South Wrestling, Action Packed Wrestling, Chester SC, PWX Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Union, and many others. He was the subject of independent short documentary titled The Aria of Babyface Cauliflower Brown and had featured film/television credits in shows such as The Righteous Gemstones. Outside of his in-ring and entertaining persona, Chase was also a loving husband and father to his daughter. Please keep the family and close friends of Chase Brown in your thoughts during this time."
In 2017, Brown was spotlighted in a New York Times video documentary about professional wrestling storytelling.
Former ROH star Cheeseburger paid tribute, writing, "Truly a one of a kind professional wrestler and a legitimate genuinely good person in this crazy business. For those that didn't know Chase Brown, many of us in the mid 2010s met him through the ROH tryouts and ring crew. He was a guy coming around working his a** off trying to earn a spot. He re-invented himself coming out playing his music with his guitar and bringing out a giant cauliflower he would take a bite from! He got the name Cauliflower from Terry Funk if I recall correctly due to his ear, he was a legit shooter and tough dude! His charm and sense of humor made 12 hour tv crew days for ROH go by much quicker. I remember all of us on ring crew being so insanely hyped when Chase finally got his first ROH match! He would serenade us backstage with songs on his guitar as well."
PWInsider.com sends our deepest condolences to Brown's family, friends and fans.
