The final weeks of NFL player Bryan Braman's life have been revealed following his tragic death earlier this week.
Braman, a former NFL defensive end and member of the Super Bowl LII-champion Philadelphia Eagles, died on July 17 at the age of 38 after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in February.
It has now been revealed that the former linebacker cherished his final moments with the people he loved the most - his daughters.
Braman's agent, Sean Stellato, revealed to People that his client's daughters, Blakely, 11, and Marlowe, eight, 'spent the last two weeks with him when he was dying.'
'He loved his two girls so, so much. They were everything, his legacy,' he said of the late NFL player.
Stellato, who described Braman as a 'true football brother,' hailed the strength of his character.
'I would say, a warrior in every sense, on the field and in life. He faced every battle with unshakable grit and heart,' said Stellato.
'And his passing really leaves a void, not only in the football community, but in the spirit of really every underdog who ever had to fight to play this game of football.'
An undrafted free agent out of West Texas A&M, Braman entered the league in 2011 with the Houston Texans .
He played three seasons there before spending the next four years with the Philadelphia Eagles. He also played at Idaho and Long Beach City College.
Braman's final game was Super Bowl LII as a member of the Eagles, who defeated the New England Patriots . He proudly celebrated in the postgame celebration holding his daughters.
Braman said after retirement that winning the Super Bowl and his daughters were 'the three greatest accomplishments in my life.'
The Eagles issued a statement Thursday.
'We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bryan Braman,' it read.
'During his four seasons in Philadelphia, Bryan was a loyal teammate, a supporter of the community, and a valuable member of our Super Bowl LII-winning team. More importantly, he was a devoted father who passionately loved his family and everyone around him.
'We extend our deepest condolences to Bryan's family and all who are grieving his loss during this difficult time.'
Braman, a special teams ace in his playing days, underwent multiple surgeries in the Seattle area this year.
Former Texans teammate J.J. Watt was among the contributors to his GoFundMe effort, raising around $90,000 to help cover medical costs.
