Damn that's tough and from drowning?

RIP!

And too many people especially of color seem like they are proud not to be able to swim. We gotta change that narrative. Starting with our youth. Learn toghther.

Rest in peace, and condolences to his family.

I admit that I can't swim. My parents tried to get me to do it at the YMCA when I was a teenager back then.

I never go around pools or oceans.

But what if someone is in trouble? And you can't help them?

I understand what you mean but I just won't ever be able to swim which I've accepted that fact.

As soon as I saw the post on Yahoo I said No this isn't true !! What a punch to the gut. He was great on The Cosby Show and Malcolm & Eddie which was a short lived favorite of mines. I still laugh at the outtakes from that show. Thanks for the many years of entertainment. Rest Well.

 

[Aww Skeet Skeet!]

What the fuck!?!?

Man, R.I.P... Just horrible.

He always seemed to he solid and never into any negative shit.

Oh damn, I haven’t liked swimming in the ocean since I was a kid.

 

[alexw]

What evidence do y'all have that he couldn't swim? There's plenty of people who drown and theyre great swimmers. The ocean simply is an untamable beast. Rip to Theo
