Plans have been finalized for a virtual memorial service for Timothy Ray Brown, the 1st person cured of HIV/AIDS.

Brown became famous when it was revealed that bone marrow and stem cell transplants in 2006 and 2007 in the treatment of the Seattle native’s leukemia also resulted in the removal of HIV from his body. But, while that treatment was a success in treating his HIV, it was also only a reprieve from the leukemia which returned over a decade later. Timothy Ray Brown passed away on Tuesday, September 29 at his home in Palm Springs, California with partner Tim Hoeffgen by his side.

Plans have now been finalized for family, friends, admirers and the global HIV/AIDS research and treatment community to gather virtually to pay tribute and respect to Brown who was only 54 years old when he died. On Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern an online memorial service will be held. That day held significance in the life o Timothy Ray Brown; it was the anniversary of the”Cure Day” where he learned he was HIV free.

The public is invited to attend the event. Register HERE to attend.

Speakers will include Tim Hoeffgen (Timothy’s partner), Dr. Nichole Klatt, Dr. Thomas Hope, Dr. Jonah Sacha, Dr. Paula Cannon, Jeff Taylor and Michael Louella.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
