Brown is mourning the loss of his This Is Us co-star Ron Cephas Jones who died at the age of 66. “Life imitated art today, and one of the most wonderful people the world has ever seen is no longer with us,” Brown shared on Instagram. “[Jones] has passed away, and the world is a little less bright,” he added. “Brother, you are loved.
And you will be missed. Keep them laughing in the next phase of existence, and I’ll see you when I get there.” Brown shared a This Is Us still with himself and Jones in a scene from the hit drama series.
