He had several health issues as well as diabetes. We are completely heartbroken and in shock. It was so unexpected. Losing a child is the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I hope I never experience it again.

He was the most amazing son I could have asked for. He was brilliant, smart, funny and had so much potential in life. It doesn’t feel real. Please keep our family and Whitney in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn such a brilliant amazing life that was our son. Thank you,” she concluded.

As per reports by people, Purvis and Weston Gosa Sr. broke up after their son was born on April 2, 2009, however later got back together and welcomed a second son, River, who was born in 2014, before splitting again.
