Another co-star, David Scheetz Jr., also shared some words and photos of his late friend. “I know one thing… I don’t wanna do this without you. You gave me strength when I swore I didn’t have anything left. You ARE the best leader, teacher and mentor I ever worked with. And this season is not gonna be the same AT ALL. I’ll do it though. Like you taught me. “Move your ass Bird”… you got it Boss… I love you man…”
