The wrestling world has lost another member of its community far too soon. “Cauliflower” Chase Brown, who wrestled across the independent scene and made appearances for Ring of Honor and WWN, passed away on October 13 at just 41 years old.
Brown’s death was announced by Carolina Wrestling Channel, which paid tribute to someone who did a whole lot more than just step inside a wrestling ring. Along with wrestling, Brown was involved in music and acting throughout his life.
“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.”
Wrestling fans in the Carolinas may remember Brown best as “Cauliflower” Chase Brown. He worked for a long list of promotions throughout the Southeast, including Trans-South Wrestling, Action Packed Wrestling, PWX Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Union, while also getting opportunities with WWN and Ring of Honor.
“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.”
Brown also found success outside the ring. He was featured in the independent short documentary The Aria of Babyface Cauliflower Brown and even landed acting work on television, including The Righteous Gemstones.
“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.”
His wrestling journey even caught the attention of The New York Times back in 2017. Brown was featured in a video documentary about professional wrestling storytelling, giving a much wider audience a look at his life in the business.
Away from wrestling, music and acting, Brown was also a husband and father. Carolina Wrestling Channel made sure that part of his life wasn’t forgotten while announcing the heartbreaking news.
“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.”
No cause of death has been publicly disclosed. Brown was only 41, and the news has left another painful loss for the independent wrestling community and the people who knew him beyond the character fans saw inside the ring.
Our thoughts are with Chase Brown’s family, friends and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
