OMG, very young :(

3 comments in and we get a Trump comment and a Covid comment. This country is literally the dumbest bunch of fucks on the planet. RIP to this young man. Sad.

😔🙏🏻

Covid

Not sure about anyone else, but cause of death of dying at 22 is important to me.

Gone too soon. May he RIP. Condolence to those who mourn. 🤗

This is why Trump and College Basketball administrators should be charged for the deaths of all students that have been forced to play during a pandemic. This is shameful and was preventable

May God give you eternal rest and comfort for your family ...
