Raven-Symoné revealed on Monday that her younger brother, Blaize Pearman, has died at age 31.
The actress posted a video message on Instagram Monday, sharing the news that Pearman died last month, after being diagnosed with colon cancer two years ago.
Thank you the all the love yesterday. It was felt beyond. Hard to fully celebrate knowing that I’m here and he is not. More on Dec. 16, she said. The Raven’s Home star celebrated her 38th birthday on Sunday.
It was a little bittersweet for me to be honest because last month I lost my brother, Blaize, she said. He was battling colon cancer for about two years and he is in a better place now. He’s loved and missed and the emotions that have been weaving in and out of my body and mind and my family, have been a roller coaster.
She went on to say that his birthday would have been on Dec. 16, and that her family plans to celebrate it.
I love you, Blaize, she said. “His birthday is Dec. 16 and forever will be. I love you, guys. My family on Instagram, my family at home and my family and friends. You guys have been such an amazing support system and I love you all.
