We were all shocked by the death yesterday of Christopher "Big Black" Boykin at the way too young age of 45.
One thinks of the deceased family in a time like this. In the case of Big Black, his family extended to his Rob & Big co-star and close friend, Rob Dyrdek.
Dyrdek paid tribute to his brother from another mother on Instagram.
MTV also weighed in on the death of one of their more popular personalities.
“MTV is deeply saddened to learn the news of Christopher ‘Big Black’ Boykin’s passing. He was a longtime and beloved member of the MTV family and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this time.”
As did his co-star Chanel West Coast.
A rep for Black has confirmed he died of a heart attack.
RIP, Big Fella.
