Across social media, friends, family, and a legion of adoring fans have been paying tribute to Gongora.

“You are so funny and so creative way more than ill ever be,” he wrote in one slide (via People).
“I love you much more than words will ever say. You are my world. I wish things were different. Thank you for everything I love you sis.”
“I jus wanna hangout with you one more time and tell you that I love so much you mean the world to me,” Ivan continued.
