I just need to express to everyone what an amazing person he was, because i know so many think he was a vain, dropkick, meat-head. Which couldn’t be further from the truth. Az “Zyzz” was DUX of his High School. He was a really smart kid, but lets face it, intelligence doesn’t get you the girls. He became so insecure because he was so painfully small and pale and definitely not popular with many people. He confronted those insecurities, but never defeated them. On the outside, anyone would assume he achieved his mission.. he was “aesthetic” and an idol to so many. But he was never truly satisfied with himself, he always saw his flaws and he pushed and pushed and pushed himself to be “perfect” in his own eyes, right until the very end. He was a successful businessman, and a fantastic (if controversial) marketer and self-promoter. He did well at uni.. and was so much more than those muscles could ever show.

I’m horrified and hurt to have witnessed the insensitive discussion that took place around his death, and I want to remind everyone that Zyzz was not just a public figure.. his death didnt deserve to be trivialised and discussed in such an impersonal and heartless manner. Az was a real person like you and like me, and god forbid anyone ever discusses the passing of one of YOUR friends in such a manner. Please, have respect for us who were blessed to know him, and if not that, then at least have respect for his family. He would offer you the same courtesy.
