Earlier today rumors of Lloyd’s death went viral. It was only this afternoon that the family and friends of the content creator confirmed the news.
“Ang hirap tanggapin kasi napaka buting kaibigan ni Lloyd sa amin (It’s hard to accept because he was a kind friend to us),” says fellow YouTuber Mark Averilla or Macoy Dubs in a video recently released.
“Deserve niya lahat ng success dahil napakabuti niyang tao. Kabibili niya lang ng car, kakapagawa niya palang ng bahay for his family (He deserved all his success because he was a good person. He had just bought a car. He had just built a home for his family). For now let’s pray for his soul,” added the content creator famous for his persona Aunti Julie.
