WWE Superstar Titus O’Neil posted some sad news to his Instagram account today. On Thursday, O’Neil had visited a sick fan, Logan Larabee, to wish him well. His post can be found below.
“Had the Wonderful honor of meeting the Larribee Family today. I received a message late last night that their youngest son Logan is a Huge @WWEFan. Logan is a 3year old hero that is Fighting Cancer. I couldn’t imagine going thru this pain with my Kids and to see how Logans Parents and 3brothers 5,11,12 years old are holding up is very admirable!! I can’t save the world but to be able to see and put smiles on peoples faces in the toughest times is truly humbling to me. I’m praying for you guys and Thank you again for inviting me into your loving home. BTW expect More gifts to arrive at your home to accompany the ones I gave you today???????????? See you at @WWE #Battleground in July #familyfirst #LoganIsAHero”
Less than 24 hours later though, Larabee passed away. O’Neil then took to his account once more to remember his fallen friend.
“This morning I’m More Grateful,Thankful and Appreciative of things and moments that God has Blessed me to Do and see and I Owe A large part of this to a young Man named Logan Larrabee and His Awesome Mom,Dad and 3Brothers. We were Complete Strangers less than 24hours Ago But Today is the First day that I Openly invite Logan’s Family into my own Family. God Didn’t send me to see Logan before he Left this earth simply because he was a Big @WWE Fan. I truly believe in my heart that I met Logan for reasons that have NOTHING to Do With @WWE But EVERYTHING to do with PURPOSE. My purpose and The purpose of others are clearer to us all because of a 3year old Soldier that Fought as much and as Long as he could against Cancer, but he brought his family closer to God and to each other. Today I will do All I can to help this family prepare to move on, my Kids will accompany me In these efforts as we will go to the Movies tonight with Logan’s 3Brothers and Have them stay in our home tonight and do our Best to help keep their spirits up and just enjoy Life as Children Should. I can’t save the World Nor will I try ,but what I will do is Take this God Given opportunity to Help Heal and in the Process Grow as a Man,Father and Son. Today please continue to pray for the Larrabee Family, but Also Take the Time To Love your own family More. Life is not Guaranteed to Anyone,It’s not Fair and It’s not Perfect,But through it all God is Faithful!! Have a Blessed Friday and make the most of it!! #familyfirst#RipLoganLarrabee”
He would later pay respect to John Cena as well, who is known for granting wishes on the company’s behalf.
“@WWEUNIVERSE Love or Hate the guy I’m going on record as saying I’ve always respected his Hustle, But my Respect Grew Greater for @johncena for calling Jim Larabee the Father of this Little 3year old hero Logan Larabee that I met yesterday hours before he passed away due to Cancer. @johncenacalled from Europe to send his condolences to the family,now this won’t stop me from Kicking your A$$ First chance I get in an @WWE Ring, but what it has Done is make me even prouder of the Superstars,Support Staff and Divas that I get to work with on a weekly basis that make so many sacrifices to entertain,Motivate and Inspire People of All walks of life Worldwide!! #Respect #riploganlarrabee”
Editor’s Note:
Another example of the fantastic things WWE does for people in the community, but such a shame under these circumstances. Very heartwarming to see the impact a wrestler can make though. Thoughts go out to his family.
