A long time ago I was sat amongst a group of CrossFit HQ Seminar staff trainers, Flowmasters, for an annual meeting. Dave Castro led the day and started by going around the room asking for each of us to say hello, make a short introduction and give one thing cool that had happened so far that year.
The lady sat to my left, Kelly Brown, said that she had been officially place in remission from cancer.
A while later, John her husband came to Cardiff to teach a CrossFit Kids course at our gym. That week she had been re-diagnosed and sadly lost her second fight.
She was a wonderful woman, generous, selfless and humble to a fault.
On Sept. 15, 2020, CrossFit Kids Seminar Staff Flowmaster Kelly Brown passed away after a courageous five-year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 44.
Brown is survived by her husband, John, and their two children, a 14 year old son and 11 year old daughter.
Kelly and John started their CrossFit journey in 2006 and opened CrossFit Agoge in 2007. In 2010, she became a member of the CrossFit Kids Seminar Staff.
An incredible wife, mother, teacher, coach, affiliate owner, and friend, Kelly contributed much to all whose lives she touched. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
