I am so sad. Just saw him a few weeks ago and it was so good to see him. He talked about his music and his plans. So talented and one the sweetest most welcoming people I’ve ever met. I’m really going to miss that. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. @JaxnTweets pic.twitter.com/eSlTHQLrFR
