On Tuesday evening, it came to light that Slade Smiley’s son, Grayson Smiley, had passed away on Sunday at the age of 22.

It was very unexpected,” Michelle wrote. “I’m still in shock and going through the motions of dealing with all the details.

Grayson Arroyo-Smiley was such a special human being. He was an Angel on this earth and an incredible warrior…a warrior like no one has ever seen before. He fought every day through his pain and discomfort to find joy in the smallest of things. He was always singing & dancing & laughing despite his circumstances,” she continued. Gretchen went on to call Grayson a “true beacon of light and hope,” noting that “he made an incredible impact on so many people.” “The Lord knew his life had purpose and would touch many along the way. We are forever grateful for the many lessons learned from this little man and will miss his beautiful spirit immensely,” she added before concluding, “This isn’t goodbye but rather see you soon, little man…..We love you, Grayson. You will forever be in our hearts.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYa4yqvjAA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Our hearts are broken for Grayson’s family.
