Zendaya penned a lengthy Instagram caption, echoing his family’s sentiment that she wanted to remember how he could light up a room. “I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh,” she wrote. “For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment.”
