Obviously, this is incredibly heartbreaking, and there’s no other way to put it. Parents dying is one of the toughest parts of life.
It’s not something anyone is really built to deal with, especially when it happens under such incredibly tragic circumstances.
“James, I’m praying for you, man.”

James White is a 100% pure class human, and I can’t imagine how much he’s struggling right now. He must be filled with so much heartbreak and pain.
It’s a horrible situation that he’s found himself in, and it happened out of nowhere.
Sending all our love to James White and his family. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/b8FQyZXdFP
