“Today (10/27/2024) I got the worse news of my life that my brilliant, smart, loving, full of life and energetic son who was always giving to others by giving his last has passed away,” she writes.

“It is with a broken heart that I sit here today asking all to come together in joining me during these difficult moments. I am asking all to please make my son’s life memories an honorable one.”
