Usher posted a lengthy tribute for his friend in the comment section of the post. He wrote, “I cry, tears of joy, looking back at all of the memories we had together, I realize that you were the joy in every room you were in. We should not take life for granted or the people we love most as though they’re gonna be there forever.”
