With heavy hearts, yet filled with profound admiration, we announce the passing of Kami Alvin Brown, a man of extraordinary courage and passion, who departed this life on March 6, 2025, at the age of 31. Born on May 3, 1993, Kami embraced life with a vibrant spirit, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Kami was a true adventurer, driven by a deep love for exploration and experience. He found joy in the thrill of sports, particularly football, UFC, and boxing, and relished the excitement of travel, always eager to discover new places and cultures. An avid foodie, he delighted in exploring diverse cuisines and sharing his culinary discoveries with friends and family.

Kami’s journey took an unexpected turn with a cancer diagnosis, a challenge he faced with unwavering bravery and resilience. His strength and determination were an inspiration to all. Through this difficult time, the unwavering love and support of his wife, Shannon Brown, shone brightly.

Kami and Shannon’s love story is one of profound devotion. They met prior to the pandemic, and their bond deepened as they faced Kami's diagnosis together. Shannon stood courageously by his side, a testament to the enduring power of love and commitment. In a beautiful celebration of their love, they married on October 26, 2024, solidifying their commitment to each other in the face of adversity. Shannon’s unwavering presence, embodying the true meaning of “in sickness and in health,” provided Kami with strength and comfort until his final moments.

Kami is survived by his loving wife, Shannon Brown; his devoted parents, Suzie and Alvin Brown; his cherished siblings, Delante, Mohogany, and Ebony; his beloved grandparents, Inez and Al Sr.; his dear aunts, Sandra, Nadine, Shanty, and Natasha, and uncles, Gareth (Mel), Fabian, Shawn, and Al Jr. He also leaves behind his loving cousins, Dean, Tristan, Joel, Paris, Renee, Candice, and Whitney. Kami was blessed with a large and loving extended family, a village that surrounded him with support and affection throughout his life. He was also blessed with his loving and supportive in-laws, the Stewart family.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the dedicated doctors and nursing staff at Mount Sinai, Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, and Toronto General Hospitals, who provided exceptional care and support throughout Kami's courageous battle. Special thanks are extended to Dr. Gupta, Dr. Ferguson, and Dr. Louis, whose expertise and compassion were instrumental in Kami's fight.
