His mother Lisa Wayne posted a lengthy tribute to her son after news of his death broke, sharing his love of cooking and aspirations to build a wings business, as well as memories of the time they'd been able to spend together in recent weeks.
I'm sick without you. I'm torn, I'm lost. I'm in pain. I'd text you or call you when I was broken or worried about something, and you'd tell me, Ma, I got you, we'll get thru this together. Boy. Why did you leave me. We lived in the same complex and you were my dinner. You'd cook, I'd come eat and chill and walk back home. During quarantine, we started walking in the evenings.
Our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this time.
