The funeral for 13-year-old Howell Brown will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. at Duke University Chapel.
Brown died Friday after a five-year battle with cancer. Originally from western N.C., he and his mother, Susan, relocated to Durham in 2012 so he could receive treatment at Duke Children’s Hospital. He became close with athletes and coaches at Duke and N.C. Central, attending games and practices.
