After Botham Jean was fatally shot in his apartment last year, his former colleagues made a commitment to his family: They wouldn't allow the memory of their friend and coworker to fade away.
On Tuesday, PricewaterhouseCoopers, where Jean worked as an accountant, unveiled a portrait of their colleague in the company's new Dallas office. The artwork is crafted out of 10,000 pieces of oak sourced from Jean's home state of Texas, painted in the vibrant colors of his native St. Lucia. Based on Allison Jean's favorite photo of her son, the portrait is meant to evoke his warm and generous spirit.
🙏🏽 Im still so upset about this shitty cop.
This guy's death feels like an inside job. Such cold-blooded murder and everybody, including the judge, is fawning over the murderer? Gtfoh.
As a PwC alumnus I am very proud of my firm for stepping up to honor Bo’s memory and build his legacy.
What a fabulous gesture. Well done PwCUS. Perhaps one for his mother would be greatly appreciated also?
Awesome
I cannot imagine the heartbreak. I hope his legacy echoes till the end of days.
Go PwCUS !!!! You did the right thing.
List the number of tragic gun deaths this year and then consider the pain & loss of all who loved those victims too. The destruction is staggering.
Rest in Peace, Botham Jean. You went far too early in the saddest way. You will miss far longer than ten years of life.
I love this. I work for one of the other Big 4 accounting firms and my heart aches for his family and his colleagues. A senseless tragedy.
Next will be a portrait of the lady who killed him!!!!
God bless and will be praying ......🙏🙏🙏
