A funeral for MTV star Diem Brown was held on Tuesday in New York City at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church.
Country singer Trisha Yearwood sang “I Remember You” at the service, with close friends and family members gaving eulogies and reading Bible passages.
Brown lost her third battle with cancer on Friday; she was just 32 years old.
"Diem loved hard, lived hard and danced hard. My mom always said that Diem came out fighting since day one,” Brown’s sister, Megan, said during her eulogy, People reports.
Brown was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and 2012 and again this past summer. However, this time the cancer spread from her ovaries to her stomach lining and colon.
Her Challenge co-stars remembered her to Us Weekly, with Kenny Santucci calling her a “sweetheart” and Mark Long saying, "I loved her spirit, her positivity, and her never-ending 'fight to live' attitude.”
Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio called her “fun-loving” and Evan Starkman recalled Brown kicking cancer’s “ass for a long time."
