“I would want to be your son again” damn that makes my eyes water… I’m so sorry to his parents they don’t deserve to lose their only child :( I hope the community embraces them with love and helps them get through it

[@rockpadstudios]

Yeah - really got to me...

[@audreymaqks]

Such a wonderful son. His message should be shared around the world. People may not understand why I would choose to watch a video of someone whose life is ending. Although it is sad for me it is a means to appreciate what I have. He was truly a loving man.

[@VanTran-qz5kf]

Hang in there Dexter! Try to live as long as you can for your family. I will be going in for my 36th cycle of chemo this week, for a cancer that can't be cured... I have a seven year old daughter so I have to stay as positive as possible.

We are still slaves in chains, even our children And Hitler and Stalin, butchered millions of my white family cold blood and all white nations have been invaded, and they are killing us. I wish Jesus would come for all the good people, including all the minorities who love every race, and to love your neighbor, and not to judge anyone, but they’ve already judged my white family and they have sent it says to death I seen a video the other day of the people white people in Ukraine are all butchered and tortured to death and wild pigs are eating their bodies.

May God lift you up and comfort you.💋❤

[@ericc9570]

My heart goes out to your family and rest in peace , Dexter . I paused the video and couldn't continue . I knew it was going to be heart wrenching after reading all the messages. This brought back lovely memory almost 30 years ago - my grandma was smiling and enjoying herself on a wheelchair . She was wearing a novelty colourful hat, clapping at a Christmas party that was organised and being served by the great peoples - staffs and volunteers at Assisi . I think her last Christmas was the happiest of all that she had attended . May God bless all the good people at Assisi.
