Diem Brown's Castmates Tweet About her Funeral

by Marenah Dobin

As an avid fan of The Challenge on MTV, I was truly saddened to hear about cast member Diem Brown passing away on Friday, November 14. Brown was so young and definitely an inspiration to many people; she went through many battles with cancer, all while maintaining a positive attitude. Diem Brown's funeral was today in New York City and many of her friends and family were present to mourn their loss and to honor her memory.

Everyone is, of course, very sad about her death, but many of her fans and loved ones have emphasized the good times they had with her. Even those who were not physically present at the funeral remembered the 32-year-old reality star through social media posts. Brown touched many people's lives, whether they actually met her or not. The hash tags #DiemStrong, #DiemBrown, #RIPDiemBrown, and #DanceForDiem have been top trending topics on Twitter.

This is what some of her castmates have been saying since her passing:
