Noah was born in 2011 but recently passed away when he was still in his early teens. He was a massive Browns and Cowboys fan. To honor him and help his family, the NFL legend went to meet his grandparents, Henry and Bev, sharing a heartfelt moment with them.
Noah lived with six grandparents for six years, and Bev was like his second mother. While speaking, she could barely control herself. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks; her voice broke, showcasing the deep bond they had. Kosar signed a Browns helmet to give them as a memento in honor of Noah.
Kosar underwent a liver transplant in November 2025. He received the liver from 21-year-old Bryce Dunlap, another Browns fan, who passed away due to an anoxic brain injury. Kosar made sure that Bryce’s family got a chance to watch a Browns game, with his mother being the Dawg Pound Captain. To honor Dunlap, Kosar, along with UMatter, decided to help one family every month that is going through a tough time. It is a small token of appreciation and love from Kosar, who has become more open to charitable work.
