No one can believe this, you're way too young. When I heard I was balling my eyes out. I just saw you last week and had high faith in God that you'd make it. I know you fought to the fullest and I'm just so lucky to have had you as a teammate and more importantly a friend. You've helped me through the times you knew I was down and in slumps. I love you bro. βπ½β€οΈ#ryseup #zero
