WHAT
I was just listening to him on the podcast, he was such a sweet kid. RIP— 𝗞𝗔𝗠𝗠𝗬 🩸 ZAYN (@kammy_wrestling) October 20, 2022
My heart breaks for @RealKevinNash. My son is almost the same age, and I could not imagine what would be going thru my mind if this occurred. The idea of having to bury one's own child is terrible.
I hope people are keeping an eye on Kevin and Tamara. They will need lots of love

Just days before his death, Tristen shared a photo of his father appearing to record an episode, sitting at a table with headphones on in front of a computer.
