Von Scales, the 58-year-old husband of singer and television personality Trina Braxton, died early Thursday morning in Atlanta. The Braxton family confirmed his passing and asked for privacy as they mourn. Sources close to the family said Scales had been dealing with heart-related issues, though the official cause of death has not been released.
Scales’ death came around 2 a.m. on October 1. His loss has left the Braxton family shaken, especially Trina, who had shared much of her life with him both privately and publicly. Their marriage in December 2019 in St. Louis was celebrated widely, even featured on the family’s reality show. Fans had followed their journey closely, making this news hit harder.
Trina Braxton had already endured the loss of her first husband, Gabriel “Gabe” Solis, who died in 2018 at just 43. Scales became a steady presence in her life after that tragedy, and together they built a new chapter. Their relationship was often documented on social media, showing workouts, family moments, and glimpses of their everyday life.
In recent years, Scales appeared healthy and active. Videos from 2025 showed him working out with Trina, smiling and encouraging her during their fitness routines. His sudden death has left many stunned, as he remained engaged online and connected with fans until shortly before his passing.
The Braxton family issued a statement thanking people for their prayers and support but emphasized their need for space during this difficult time. The family continues to remain in the public eye through their reality series, but this moment has reminded fans that behind the cameras, they face real heartbreak.
Atlanta, where Scales died, is the center of Georgia’s largest metropolitan area. It has been home to many public figures, but for the Braxton family, it now holds a painful memory. The city where Scales spent his final hours will forever be tied to this loss.
Von Scales’ death marks another chapter of grief for Trina Braxton, who has faced more than her share of personal tragedy. His presence in her life was a source of strength, and his absence will be deeply felt by family, friends, and fans alike.
