A funeral will be held today for the 19-year-old Aliquppa football player who lost his battle with cancer. Hundreds came together last night to mourn the death of DiMantae Bronaugh. With so many people expected, visitation was held at a local church rather than a funeral home. Family, friends, even football players from at least one opposing team, came to pay respects at Wildwood Chapel in Aliquippa. Bronaugh was diagnosed with leukemia last year, but then it went into remission. The state gave him an extra year of eligibility to play again this year, but in August, he learned the leukemia was back. During Bronaugh’s battle, the community began wearing t-shirts with the hashtag “24 Strong,” his number on the football team. Many people paying their respects last night still wore the t-shirts.
