In a press release, the Barrett family announced the death of Nathan, the little brother of RJ Barrett. Neither the age nor the reasons for death are communicated.
“It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the loss of our beloved son and brother, Nathan Tyler Barrett, who passed away on Tuesday, March 12 surrounded by his family, church and friends. Although his stay with us was brief, he will live forever in our hearts. Although our family is devastated by this heavy loss, we will continue to cherish the memories and time spent together.” can we read in the press release which bears the Raptors and maple leaf logo. “Nathan was a very religious young man with a strong character. He was thoughtful, kind, loving, compassionate, creative, admirable and driven.”
Like his older brother, Nathan had gone to Florida to train at the Montverde Academy, then he chose to study to become an airplane pilot.
Absent Wednesday against the Pistons for “personal reasons”, RJ Barrett is already out for tonight's meeting against the Magic. We can expect him to miss other meetings to stay with his family.
