In the wake of this devastating news, Alyssa took to social media to express her grief and love for her son. She shared a touching video montage capturing precious moments of Jamie’s life, set to Jhené Aiko’s song “Promises.” Her message was heartfelt and deeply moving: “Oh my darling Jamie,” she wrote. “The ache in my arms from holding you is beginning to fade, but it’s a painful reminder that you’re no longer here. I find myself glancing in the backseat while driving, only to be reminded that I can no longer see your sweet face. The silence in my home is deafening.”
As she reflected on their time together, Alyssa recalled, “These last five months, we were in this together…You kept me going. In the middle of the night, your smile would fill me with energy and joy. We were a team, and now it feels unbearable to go on without you.” She concluded her emotional post by expressing gratitude to Jamie’s “sister,” the support of God, and the kindness of strangers who encourage her to keep pushing forward. “It has been an honor and privilege to be your mom. My love for you will last an eternity.”
Mark shared more details about Jamie’s health issues earlier in the week. He explained that Jamie was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, which is a condition characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain. “I noticed he had a cough and wanted to get it checked out,” Mark mentioned during his show. “We didn’t think much of it until we noticed he had a larger head.” Sadly, Jamie’s condition deteriorated during the Thanksgiving holiday, leading to his passing on December 5, 2021.
After revealing the heartbreaking news, Mark addressed the audience on his show, stating, “People keep asking how I’m doing, and I say, ‘I’m upright, and that’s a start.’” He admitted that while he initially felt numb, the reality of his loss has been hitting him hard.
