In addition to announcing his passing, Chelsey emphasized the importance of kindness during this difficult time, especially for their children, who are navigating their grief in the digital space. “Please be kind,” she urged. “They’ll likely be online grieving their father. I will probably grieve online too. This is life now. Never take it for granted, and make sure you live your dreams every day. Love your family and take care of yourself.”
