What a huge loss! This one hit hard ? The fact that he battled cancer for 4 years and shot those amazing movies between countless surgeries and chemotherapy is the reason why we must be kind. You don’t know people’s secret battles. Rest King. Rest! #ripchadwickboseman pic.twitter.com/HYShEQPTpR

To have done so much in the 4 years since he was a diagnosed with cancer and to have brought that level of emotion to people it's such a tragedy that he's been taken so soon. #ChadwickBoseman https://t.co/SLELv260wj
