On Wednesday night, October 19, a candlelight parade was held in honor of the late Patrick Fakoya, also known as Rico Swavey, and it was a very emotional event.
People who were the reality star’s friends, coworkers, and loved ones came out in droves, all dressed in black to show their respect and pay their last respects.
Images and videos captured during the moving and tear-inducing event have been making the rounds on various social media platforms.
