Brinson suffered from lung cancer, and in November 2014, Richards' friend Brandi Glanville told the magazine he had an inoperable "tumor in his brain" that required radiation and steroid treatment.
Richards was married to Brinson from 1985-1988. A year after they wed, the couple welcomed a daughter, Brooke, who is now 29-years-old. Although the pair got divorced, they remained friends and Richards helped take care of Brinson once he was diagnosed with cancer, especially in recent years.
Likewise, Brinson supported Richards throughout her struggle with sobriety and brushes with the law, according to People.
Richards and Brinson celebrated their birthdays together last year and it was clear they still loved one another immensely. In a November 2015 Instagram post, Richards said she'd stay right by Brinson's side forever and also wished him "courage, peace, laughter, love and strength."
In December, Brinson shared an update on his health with his Instagram followers. He revealed he'd be spending the holiday in the hospital, however, he was in high spirits and planned to make the best of it.
"I have had two set backs in the last months... I'm in the hospital. First of all the fight with lung cancer I'm beating that fight. The set backs concern life or death. Another battle I'm fighting I'm not a quitter and no matter what you go through don't be a quitter. No matter your situation... I'm not scared of death I choose life...," Brinson wrote.
"I don't know how my story will end but I know I've been loved all my life and I've loved back just as hard to make others happy In my life. Sweet dreams to all. Enjoy every day life. Life is beautiful... I hope everyone can find love in there hearts there's no room hatred. Love Monty."
