It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating loss of Lauren Divina Marie Brown, beloved wife of Yonkers Police Detective Specialist LaMont Brown, Jr., who passed away on November 7, 2026, at the young age of 37, following a courageous four-year battle with colon cancer.
Throughout her battle, Lauren endured multiple surgeries and unimaginable challenges, yet she never allowed her illness to define her or diminish the love she had for those around her. Her strength, compassion, and selflessness were evident in everything she did.
Lauren was a devoted wife, an incredible mother, and a beautiful soul whose warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. She was an accomplished professional with a passion for sports, building an impressive career working with several major professional sports organizations. However, her greatest joy and most cherished accomplishment was her family.
Even while facing her own health challenges, Lauren opened her heart and home to two foster children, providing them with love, comfort, and stability during a time when they needed it most. That extraordinary act of kindness speaks volumes about the remarkable woman she was.
Lauren leaves behind her loving husband, LaMont, their two beautiful sons, Lael and Zakai, and her beloved bonus daughter, Sarayah. While nothing can ease the heartbreak of losing a wife and mother, we can come together to help lighten the burdens that lie ahead.
LaMont, a Crime Scene Detective with the Yonkers Police Department, is a dedicated member of our law enforcement family. After years of navigating Lauren's illness, he now faces the overwhelming emotional and financial challenges that accompany such a profound loss. Between burial expenses, ongoing childcare needs, and the significant financial strain of the past four years, the road ahead will not be an easy one.
Now is our time to stand beside our brother in blue.
We are asking our fellow law enforcement officers, friends, family, and the community to come together in support of LaMont and his children. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden and allow LaMont to focus on what matters most, being there for his children as they navigate life without their beloved mother.
If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please share this fundraiser and keep the Brown family in your thoughts and prayers.
Let us honor Lauren's legacy of love, generosity, and selflessness by extending that same kindness to the family she loved so deeply.
In times of tragedy, we stand together. Let us show LaMont and his family that they are not alone and that their law enforcement family will be there for them every step of the way.
Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and support.
