In an incredibly emotional manner, Kalysha directed her pain towards the driver who caused the tragic accident. She stated, ‘I am really mad at the person who took your life.’ Kalysha had never before felt such a mixture of emotions of rage, suffering and confusion all at the same time. Kalysha characterized a man who was indeed family-oriented and said his only desires were to be with his newborn and to live as a ‘Godly family man.’ They received the pregnancy news on Champ’s 35th birthday, a day that should have been solely a celebration. Kalysha revealed informing her partner about being 4.5 months pregnant without being aware of it, and she narrated how Champ ‘radiated happiness throughout the entire time I was pregnant.’
The accompanying video telling the story, which is available in its entirety on YouTube, provides a very emotional and gentle glimpse into their relationship. It shows the irrepressible joy of Champ and has him actively and excitedly purchasing baby stuff. The video has him saying, ‘It’s for the fucking material,’ in reference to baby supplies, and playing with Kalysha, demonstrating that he had a vibrant personality that is immediately lost. Kalysha concluded her post with a universal expression of sorrow: ‘regardless of the ups and downs in your relationship with a person, you never want this. You always believe you have more time.’
The community’s response was full of understanding and shared grief. Many of the comments focused on the great love that Champ exhibited. One person said, ‘His excitement was truly enormous. His love for his two girls and you was loud and delightful to see.’ This comment alludes to the love that Kalysha and his children will acquire from him. Another person sent a comforting message of a spiritual nature: ‘My dear, the answer is in the message. What he wanted was only to be a God-fearing man and he was. He was not destined to stay here forever.’ This perspective provided hope during the mourning, suggesting that his time on earth had been completed.
The loss was so shocking that it made people think that life is very fragile. A consoling comment suggested, ‘time is the last thing we can take for granted! Love harder! Forgive faster! Take a whole lot of videos & pictures, because one day pictures is all we will have.’ This was very much connected to Kalysha’s own decision to share these private videos as a way of keeping his memory alive for their children. Another supporter emphasized this by saying, ‘make sure you have all these pix/vids safely saved/stored for the girls later on they will have an email account for all the memories & milestones.’
The reactions were overwhelmingly supportive, yet mentioning the entire YouTube video did generate a little bit of critical attention. One skeptical user commented, ‘You do anything to collect a check, not the link on YouTube, my condolences tho.’ Someone else wrote in a sarcastic tone, ‘FULL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE! 😂 Don’t forget to line, comment & subscribe!!’ These few negative comments stood in stark contrast to the multitude of compassion that was expressed and highlighted the complex interplay between public mourning and social media.

I can’t believe he… There will be no more postings from him… He loved those girls so much! He really just wanted to be a success!’ Public mourning of Masika Kalysha brings along a hard lesson of the swiftness of life changing, yet it also pays homage to a man who merely wished to be a family man. His persona has immediately been forever etched in the joyful moments he experienced, a bittersweet treasure for his loved ones.
