  I used to watch Stephan and I just cannot forget the many Fridays we enjoyed watching movies. I recall the day I appeared at the family with pizza to make up after I had disappointed him, it was a beautiful visit he had been so happy for my company, he told his mother " this is the best moment ever" and laughingly his mother responded- my son you chose pizza over me" Rest and peace Magguy Petitry

  I met Steph in 7th grade and we've been friends ever since, though we lost a bit of connection during high school but we rekindled a bit after seeing each other at a gas station. He was always a radiant individual and never let life bring him down. We used to check up on each other every so often while both of us were navigating life/new found adulthood. Our paths brought us back around each other during one of Emprist's photoshoots. I'll never forget us playing basketball as if it was the NBA finals between classes😂. Rest in paradise my brother, your entire village misses you bad.🩵🤞🏾
