“It’s just great dude, like, I just love it so much,” he said. “I love it when I come home and then my daughter, she just comes running to the door and she just screams like ‘ahhhh!’ and then she runs around in a circle and she comes back and she hugs me.

“It’s like the best feeling, bro. You don’t really understand, like, fatherhood, until you’re in that. It’s really true.”

A cause of death has been disclosed.
