I flew home from Italy as soon as she called. I got there at 6 p.m., and he passed away not even 12 hours later. My mom said he knew I was there. She said, ‘He waited for you to come home.’ He was at peace.”

Denise revealed that one of the hardest times for her father and the Brown family was when her sister Nicole Brown Simpson and friend Ronald Goldman were murdered.

. “It was devastating for him,” says Denise. “It’s not supposed to happen like that. No parent should ever have to bury a child.” (He had already lost a daughter, Margit, from his first marriage, to a longtime illness in 1989.)
