And the former Philadelphia Eagles star lost his fight this week.
Braman played in Super Bowl LII, when the Eagles beat the New England Patriots in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The defensive end recorded one tackle in that high-scoring game.
He played alongside the likes of franchise icons Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham.
Braman also blocked a punt in the division round of the playoffs.
The Super Bowl victory was his last game in the NFL.
Braman’s agent Sean Stellato confirmed the devastating news of his death Thursday.
He left behind two daughters aged 11 and eight.
The pass rusher was undrafted out of college in 2011.
He was with the Houston Texans from 2011 to 2013 before joining the Eagles.
Braman signed for the New Orleans Saints in 2017 but was released in September.
He rejoined the Eagles for their playoff run and starred in the team’s Super Bowl victory.
A GoFundMe was set up in February to help with the medical costs.
More than $88,000 had been raised as of Thursday morning.
Former Texans teammate JJ Watt gave the top donation of $10,000.
