BATON ROUGE - A public funeral Mass and Celebration of Life are being held in Baton Rouge on Wednesday for former LSU basketball coach Dale Brown.

The public funeral Mass starts at 10 a.m. at St. George Catholic Church. 

LSU will also host a public Celebration of Life on Wednesday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on the LSU campus. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the ceremony starts at 6 p.m.

Virtual options are also available. The celebration will stream live on SEC Network Plus and LSU Sports social channels.

Brown died Oct. 23 at age 90.

During his 25-year career at LSU, he had 448 wins, four SEC titles and two historic Final Four appearances in 1981 and 1986.

Instead of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to the Dale Brown Scholarship Fund through the Tiger Athletic Foundation. The fund supports student-athlete and general academic scholarships across campus.
