HIs brother made mention of CTE in his FB post on Brian's death.

Scary stuff especially at 49

R.I.P, way too young.

We're going to be seeing more and more of this with the old school guys. Hope the younger guys are watching and taking note to not stay in the game past their expiration date.

That's too young, very sad

No way,.. I know him for years. I knew him. Good guy. Just another thing that I hate about my ex, which today is her birthday, she deleted all my contacts years ago before cloud storage. Wish I could've stayed in contact with him. I think I last saw him at a super brawl event in Indiana. I can't remember the number but I went with team Curran because bartimus was fighting. Jeff, pat, felice, Jason Guida, Stephen Bonnar, Brian. Many fighters at a small show like that was always fun. Let your spirit return to the stars brother.

Do not troll in here.

Not that you should have to say that, but Thanks SA. It is sherdog so you never know if ignorance will creep in.

I remember seeing his fight with Diego all the time on UFC Unleashed. One of the first Chicago fighters I used to root for.

RIP.

 

[Simple Southerner]

Rip. How did he die though

 

[Taric]

Don't remember him tbh but that sucks.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

RIP, the dude fought Diego Sanchez, Yuki Kondo, John Alessio, Vernon White, Ikuhisa Minowa, Jose Landi-Johns, Mike Pyle and Forrest Petz. That's a tough bunch of opposition to have gone up against. Hespect.

RIP Gassaway. Hespect.

Considering there's no cause of death there probably hasn't been an autopsy yet, so I dunno how they would say CTE. I think CTE is just kind of becoming the boogieman for every athlete who was otherwise healthyish.

I'm hoping it wasn't suicide.
