“I always marveled at how special Chadwick was.
Such a pure hearted, profoundly generous, regal, fun guy.”
“My entire job as Okoye was to respect and protect a king.
Chadwick made that job profoundly easy,” Gurira, 42, continued.
“He was the epitome of kindness, elegance, diligence and grace.
A true class act.
“He made everyone feel loved, heard and seen.
I cant even wrap my mind around this loss.
A loss resonating in my own heart as well as around the globe.
I am so thankful to have taken theBlack Pantherjourney with him.
To have known him, spent time in his light and leadership and to call him forever a friend.
“Chad deeply valued his privacy, and I wasnt privy to the details of his illness.
He lived a beautiful life.
And he made great art.
Day after day, year after year.
That was who he was.
He was an epic firework display.
I will tell stories about being there for some of the brilliant sparks till the end of my days.
What an incredible mark hes left for us.”
