[@EJHayes-qo4qi]

Rest In Peace To Adreian Payne..He’s Reunited With Lacey🕊.

[@sladestiffwood9972]

R.I.P.. Adreian Payne. If there's a heaven that little girl was waiting for you with open arms.

[@philj8205]

First time I've cried in awhile. RIP to a great player and an even greater person.

[@Pistons2024]

It’s so sad

[@colonelboston]

It's too soon for that smile to be gone. What AP did for that little girl is beyond words. I hope he serves as an inspiration for other athletes & celebrities to use their fame in a similar manner. RIP, Sweet Princess.

[@JungleQueen777]

Its these things that make me know God has a plan, and He needs beautiful angels. May they be reunited with the Most High...XO to the family

[@soteful9949]

It's sad the way his life ended, but he showed a huge amount of character during his lifetime.

[@JeffAkABASED]

RIP both of them FrFr Adrian was a monster at MSU 🔥 now they can reunite again

[@ricolee364]

They will be missed and be together playing basketball together again in heaven. RIP AP.

[@bigcgr9758]

This is even sadder now because Adrian died . I had the pleasure of meeting him several times over his time in East Lansing and he was a humble , intelligent and great guy. RIP the Adrian and Lacy

[@dylanbowling5260]

RIP to this brilliant young man. I’m a Michigan fan, but had massive respect to Payne for his big heart on & off the court

[@danconklin1]

RIP AP. Just sitting here at work watching this and crying my eyes out.

[@kojoenu1402]

Same…so sad

[@rcmanization]

What a hero he is. This will mean the world for the little girl and her family.

[@tayrulez]

Seriously I'm about to cry she just passed away this morning they had such a bond it's just so heart warming how close some people can get #RIPLACEY 4/09/14

[@yoboymalc4432]

wish I could've seen there reunion. rest easy AP and lacey 💚💚

[@teerobinson8221]

This tugs at the heart strings so much harder today… two beautiful people finally reunited

[@matt-6197]

She didn't just impact Adreian, or the basketball team. She impacted Michigan State as a whole. I'm a student at MSU, so I was around when this happened. It was a very grim day when it was announced that she passed. Just walking to class that day, you could see other students really were saddened by her passing. Even though 99% of us students never met her, she impacted the university, and more importantly, students lives. We even held a prayer vigil and painted the rock for her when she passed. She wasn't just a spartan fan, she was spartan family

[@RaymondStarkes]

3 years later. I still think about those 2. They both impacted me

[@Phenomiracle]

Forever rest in peace, Lacey Holsworth, the princess who is now an angel. Best of luck to Adreian.

[@adamcoyner10]

RIP Adreian, will be forever missed.

[@triphendrix6658]

Man ... This One Hit Home. RIP AP. 🙏🏾🖤 God Took His Time With You

[@christianalexanderthegreat8941]

So hard to watch now. RIP to you both.

[@EJCTV_]

She is a sweet heart. Rest in peace love!

[@RidiculousRhacs]

RIP to Adreian, what a kind soul...

[@ADarkAriaUSA]

Sweet child...and gentle giant! What a legacy of love! Angels really do come in all shapes and sizes...Lacey and AP have proven that and we have been blessed to have been able to see it with our own eyes. Be at peace, precious little Princess, your journey continues. As your brother guards the court, you are spreading your wings. Your life made a difference and dances in so many hearts -- it will be remembered...you are loved!

[@derrickj127]

R.I.P to both these Beautiful Souls ❤️ 🕊

[@realestedm1636]

This is awesome. One of the realest things I've seen

[@rileygreen148]

Much respect to Adrian Payne! Not only am I a Hoosier fan, but I'm now a fan of Adrian Payne! Wish we had more people like him out there!

[@EloveDancing]

So touching ... Their friendship is so precious , she smiled until the last second because of him and that is incredible . Big man , big heart ...

[@tylersmith7127]

RIP AP. As a Virginia fan, those MSU teams were our kryptonite in tourneys for awhile.

[@kerringtonwest5201]

Whoever produced the audio for this did a fantastic job. The testimonials were recorded so well and mixed so intimately -- it might be subconscious but it added so much to the feeling and the vibe of the video. Nice job, whoever you are.

[@davioncrockett9945]

I respect adreian so much for who he is he's not just a great player but person what an inspiring story I hope he becomes very successful whatever journey he takes in life he's gone through a lot in life.

[@parkerjacobs6208]

Lacey just past away nearly an hour ago. This is truly a sad day for everyone including michigan fans. Being a michigan fan, I have always supported Lacey with payne no matter how much I hate the Spartans. She will forever be in my heart and the Spartans. My prayers are with her and her family

[@Thenameisboosta]

RIP ADREIAN AND LACEY

[@kevinkula8805]

A great story and thanks to BTN for sharing. Good luck Adreian, Lacey, and MSU! (from a lifelong Buckeye)

[@georgewarr1247]

Got me a bit choked up... great young man

[@skadude113]

What an adorable little girl, I was really sad to hear that she passed away. Amazing bond between two very different people and that really makes me smile.

[@Pistons2024]

Man 😢

[@monex5]

I tried to watch this at work..Had to leave. Tears

[@nplovingham]

crying like a baby. RIP Princess! Her family (incl AP - her big bro) are in my prayers.

[@johnkirchner1771]

RIP to a great man and one of the best to wear the green and white, you will be sorely missed🙏

[@SunshineStephy86]

OMG. This is heart warming and wrenching all at once. What a beautiful bond.

[@awareness2remember]

This guy knows what matters in life.

[@rickclagett2902]

What a great young man. This made me so emotional and MSU what great people to do this. Coach Izzo runs such a great program. Adreian you are such a great person and god bless you

[@bboyrughbrn]

Rest in peace Lacy ..you are truly a beautiful little angel

[@PurpDizzy]

Watch how she looks at him at 5:06. She really loved him. That part made me cry and I usually don't. That little girl is such an inspiration. RIP Lacy. God got you baby.

[@cjhawkins6385]

R.I.P, Young Man. Very sad and senseless. May God be with your family and friends.

[@kyuchin2397]

beautiful story beautiful angle RIP...

[@noladr]

Faith in humanity restored. As a pediatrician, this makes my day. I'm an LSU Tiger, but I'm rooting for Mich St.

[@GilBarOn]

Thank you so much! Lacey & Adrian's Love is just Amazing and Heartwarming! :-)

[@durzmoney]

I'm a Michigan fan so I've never liked state, but this story makes me root for Adrian Payne. Really touching. Much respect to him for all his work, and good luck to Lacey for fighting harder than any player does on the court. Much respect

[@Wheelz22]

RIP Lacey .... What a strong and inspirational little girl! God has big plans for her and AP!

[@emahoney6]

I will forever be a fan of Adreian Payne. All my best to them! #prayforLacey!

[@kakieduren8782]

Adreian Payne is a wonderful human being. He will never know how much good he has done to make Lacey's last days of her life filled with joy. What a sad story. We have nothing to complain about when you think of this sweet child and what she and her family have been through. No matter where Adreian goes in life or plans to achieve in life, he has a special gift that he can use to help others in despair. He is truly a gift from God and he should be very proud of how he brought such happiness to Lacy's life.

[@sheedshak3052]

Rip ADRIEN AND LACEY ❤️ finally reunited best pals

[@lcm5160]

Some SOB snuck up behind me and started peeling onions as I watched this! Ok, all kidding aside... Mr. Payne is awe-inspiring. I hope that he finds much success in life, and that when he does, his heart and character do not change one bit. I have no idea of his skill set as a basketball player (because I don't follow basketball) but he is a top notch pro at the game of life. Much respect to Adreian Payne and best of wishes for Lacey.

[@flj7]

A stand up guy and a sweet little girl. Rest in Peace Lacey. No one should have to lose a child to cancer.

[@fancyandfreeoutdoors]

Rest in love my guy.

[@timbohannan5473]

How can people dislike this ? I almost cried

[@OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

Worth everything in the world. I am a strong guy, but this makes me soften inside.

[@mattprssmn4]

I nearly cried after seeing this touching story. It's a shame she just passed. Rest in peace Lacey.

[@karlie6518]

I cannot stop crying!

[@iamreesebey]

This is why I have always pulled for MSU even as a Duke fan, the players have class and its about more than just basketball. This guy is a champion in my opinion anyways # duke nation will prey for Lacey!!!

[@PurpDizzy]

I love you Lacey. By following your story, you touched me more than you know it. I'm always the tough one but i cried so much b/c I complain about little stuff and you went through this with a smile on your face and you're 8!!!. Thank you for being the warrior you were and the strength you given me. You really woke me up. I just want to say I love you and god keep you and we're praying for your family and Adrien. I know you love him so much and he loves you.

[@klasseact6663]

RIP to them both❗️❗️

[@williamclark7966]

WOW I just heard the news of this young brother loosing his life to gun violence ,but I will always remembered this story about this young brother and this young angel their bond will always be Connected my they both RIP together people I beg you please let’s put the guns down. Thank You!

[@wahiawabriank]

I watched this a couple weeks ago and it was emotional to watch then but hearing of her passing makes it very hard to watch without breaking down. RIP

[@OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

This touched me in so many levels. First of all, age makes no difference friendship is friendship no matter what! Second, all illnesses can be fought through with the right mindset you can go all they way. I am a 100% with you two, I wish you happiness in the future. You make me believe even more in friendship without boundaries. Thank you.

[@RafaelbySuzannah]

Beautiful humanity. Soul power thank you Bless you. Prayers.

[@mightymouse41]

Wow! Def brought a tear to my eye! RIP Lacey. Great Job young man for what you have done for this little girl and her family.. Amazing how children to not see race or have hate in their bodies. Adults teach that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@raularango3539]

Rip lacy. Today whe are all Spartans

[@gholcombe3820]

Sad day for AP’s family. Sad day for Lacey’s family. RIP

[@rickytapp1113]

I just read in the paper here in South Carolina about her and i cried and cried. You will be misses Lacey. I love you Lacey!

[@danielsist2743]

Poor Lacey and her family. I cannot imagine what they must have endured. AP, you are a true hero. I hope you have a rewarding career and kids of your own. You will be a terrific father.

[@ttk1273]

Two angels have been reunited! God blessed these two souls. May they find eachother in heaven... God bless. Amen

[@vincentgonzales45]

Why does someone, literally, keep putting a bowl of onions on my desk when she says "I love him" at 4:41?

[@dazedcg]

HEART OF A SPARTAN!! Love this its very encouraging to see. God Bless this team, young man, family, and Lacey!

[@EricValenciaDotCom]

Wow ... tough to sit through this one and not cry.

[@FOOTBALLHERO41]

RIP Lacey :(

[@Shanko12]

No word to express my feeling about these two what a wonderful human he is and I wish him the best in his career… the sweet little girl my prayer goes out to you and I have a baby girl the same age you are and I don’t know what I will do if she is at your position. Hope you will bit this sickness you are full of life … you smile is brighter than a morning sunshine.

[@delaneyknoll1564]

So touching! They have such an adorable relationship! What he does is so sweet! They are both so inspiring! MSU needs to win it all! I would love to see her cutting down the nets again 😄 I have a #prayforlacey bracelet and I wear it everyday. God bless the two of them

[@MarshaABranch]

Humanity at its best. Share something positive today!!! #riplacey

[@Glass22KG]

Thank you for posting this! so special.

[@08bsears]

RIP to that young beautiful girl. May life be lifted of hardships in a better place.

[@jamelogan6837]

Love you Angel I shed a tear for you rest

[@hannahminner8087]

i wish there will be a movie about this to remind me and a lot out there that love is a free gift that we all should share

[@rachelsmith5432]

RIP Lacey, the paradise has another angel..

[@kaismith6266]

RIP to both

[@kamaribynum820]

R.I.P Lacey l will all ways remember you

[@MikeVitamvas]

Helps me remember that each of us can make a difference. Did not need anything special other than time and a heart that cares for others.

[@scrumsey]

Payne just had a 41 point game and set the MSU record for points in a NCAA tournament game (breaking Greg Kelser's record) and most free throws made in a NCAA tournament game (17) (breaking Magic Johnson's record). Could not happen to a nicer guy.

[@green_eye_shy_guy]

They said he, and Draymond were really close, my thoughts, and prayers go out to the Payne family❤️‍🔥

[@rhcpguitarar]

Life is such a bitch. It's unfair that children so full of life can get this horrible disease.

[@samuelnoyes9243]

IKR, As a Michigan fan I hate MSU but it just made me smile since she's such a nice girl who deserves anything but death. It truly is messed up

[@NwoDispatcher]

well don't trouble yourself to try to find a solution, that would be asking too much. So much easier to signal virtue and play sports.

[@jakewaltercasa]

Rest in paradise, Adreian 🤍 they’re reunited up there

[@snheekmullah102]

RIP🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@highlybaked8417]

RIP ADREIAN AND LACEY

[@msruckert]

What a beautiful story!

[@hook2cok4shore]

he"s got my vote...M.V.P....MOST VALUABLE PERSON...do you agree????????

[@spencerearl9964]

Everyone lost here. Spartan community, cancer community, nba community, his family, friends, and humanity. RIP AP, thank you for making a difference.

[@sneakertri]

damn just followed up after the dunk vid,didnt expect this.Quite touching

[@lladnarg]

What a punch in the gut. I'm minding my own business channel surfing and I hit pause while my phone is notifying me about some interesting things happening in the world and an hour later the TV unpauses and this story is playing all the sudden and this girl grabs your heart so easily and loyally that the whole time you're watching this program that voice begging in the back of your mind "no, please don't let this end like that" over and over again. And when it's all over and you think, "well, has she survived up until now?" and boom this fades onto the screen (that this video cuts short)...and I just lost it!
