I’ve been seeing this all over IG today. I just hope it wasn’t a painful passing. If this was me, I wouldn’t be as positive as he seemed to be.

Yeah he definitely lived his life to the fullest despite the hand he was dealt. I just seen it on the dlx Instagram.

Had the pleasure of meeting Zion at Waller last year and he radiated nothing but positivity throughout our conversation. Although I only got to interact with him on that occasion I can sincerely say he left a positive lasting impression on me. My sincerest condolences to his friends and family. Rest in Peace Zion

damn, rip zion.

i remember hearing about how he got shot years ago and it's been incredible to watch him get back on a board.

he definitely spread a ton of stoke these past few years.

some clips from the recent ftc / deep fried video (https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=126880.0) that was dedicated to him:
