Comedian Rickey Smiley’s son Brandon passed away at the age of 32. Smiley said he’s holding up okay but wants people to pray for Brandon’s mother and other family members.
Brandon passed away on Sunday, according to Smiley. “I lost my oldest son #BrandonSmiley this morning,” Smiley captioned on his Instagram video.
“I’m okay, but please pray for my son’s mother, Brenda, his siblings, and his daughter, Storm,” he continued.
Smiley did not go into details about what happened to his son, but he noted that he now understands what his grandfather experienced losing a child.
“Now I see… why he felt the way he felt. My Granddaddy went through this sh** with my dad, and somehow, here I am going through the same thing my grandparents went through. So just pray for our family.”
