Jimmy’s Famous Seafood owner and Brigance Brigade Foundation board member John Minadakis honored his longtime friend O.J. Brigance on LiveNOW from FOX.

Brigance recently passed away following a 19-year battle with ALS. A Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Ravens on the field, he became an even greater champion for others after his diagnosis, dedicating himself to raising awareness, supporting families and giving hope to those facing ALS.

As John said, O.J. “set the blueprint for how to live your life” — facing challenges with courage, faith, love and positivity.
