Tony Steward’s girlfriend Brittany Burns passed away on February 2, 2016. She died of ovarian cancer. We at Playerwives would like to offer our condolences. When this happens to any young couple it’s always sad. It looks to me like Brittany was such a cool lady. Tony was very expressive about how much she meant to him. It was only a week ago that she was sending out messages on her Instagram about fighting against her affliction. Those messages represent a clear will to go on living. Seeing real examples of a human’s will to live is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.
Very soon after Tony and Brittany learned about her cancer, he proposed to her. It no doubt put their life together into clear focus, and Tony was very clear to her about how much she meant to him. After she passed, Tony Steward shared a message to her:
“You have the biggest heart I have ever seen in my entire life and I promise you that it will live on in me, our family and every single soul you have touched.”
Tony Steward’s girlfriend only just had moved into a house with him in 2015. It was less than 7 months ago that they took a picture of him giving her a piggy-back ride with her holding the new house keys. They’d also just got their first pet, a cat named LV.
Tony Steward’s girlfriend Brittany said of the past year: “But while 2015 was good, I’ve got to beat it! I’ve got to beat the only news that brought 2015 down, cancer.” Yep, cancer tends to put a damper on one’s year. It’s very difficult not to see Brittany as a victim, but I doubt she’d want to be seen in that light. She focused strongly on always fighting, and one of her favorite sayings was “fight like a girl.” I’m not sure exactly what that means, but it’s plainly obvious she fought hard. It’s plainly obvious how much heart she had.
