Sad News: Kane Brown Mourns the Loss of His Grandfather
The country music world was met with somber news this week as it was revealed that beloved country artist Kane Brown is grieving the passing of his grandfather, Steve Allen Brown. According to multiple country music outlets, Steve Brown passed away on September 11th at the age of 65.
Steve Allen Brown was a cherished resident of Chattanooga, Georgia, and the father of Kane’s mother, Tabitha Brown. An obituary released through HeritageBattlefield.com fondly noted that Tabitha was Steve’s favorite daughter. Though the cause of death has not been publicly shared, the obituary painted a picture of a man deeply committed to his family.
It described Steve as someone who loved fishing and spending time with his family and friends. He was remembered as a devoted husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose absence will be profoundly felt by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
This loss comes during a busy time for Kane Brown, who is scheduled to perform at the upcoming 55th Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards on September 16th, where he’ll take the stage with his song Worldwide Beautiful. It’s likely that Kane will find a way to honor his grandfather through this performance.
The family has encouraged those wishing to pay tribute to Steve to consider making memorial donations to the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society in his name — two causes that hold significant meaning for many families.
As Kane Brown navigates this personal loss while continuing to share his music with fans, thoughts and heartfelt condolences are pouring in from around the country music community and beyond.
