The kid who asked "where we about to eat at?" has died.
The sad news was confirmed by his official account on Sunday, with a new post that seems to have been written by his mother. The pain in my heart is like no other. Her caption was the same. My heart is out my chest.
His passing may be related to an illness he's been battling for a while now, and that may affect his immune system. The body's ability to absorb nutrition is affected by autoimmune enteropathy.
The mother of the boy started a page on the internet to raise money for him. He's been in and out of hospitals for a long time and has been assisted with medical equipment along the way.
Over the past couple of years, he shot to internet fame with funny posts on social media that showcased his witty banter and big personality. He'll be remembered most for the 4 second clip of him in the back seat asking what was on the menu.
There are several other posts that have gone viral, but that one might be the most popular. He has gained hundreds of thousands of followers.
It sounds like he had a procedure recently to get his muscle mass back, and his mom was hopeful he'd make a full recovery.
The boy was young. I am sad.
