World-renowned boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. is mourning the loss of his son, DeAndre. In an Instagram post published June 24, the world champion pugilist revealed that his 32-year-old son died by suicide.

Roy Jr. told fans he was thankful to have spent time with DeAndre before “the last night of his life” alongside family.

 “I know a lot of people are going through tough times right now, but nothing is worth taking your own life. God gives it, and God should be the one to take it away.” 

The world champion, who holds multiple titles in various weight classes, asked for privacy as he and his family grieved. 

“Thank you for the love and support,” he added. 

According to People, DeAndre was one of three children Roy Jr. had with his wife, Natlyn Jones. The couple also have two other children, Roy III and Deshaun Jones.

Martin Lawrence penned, “My condolences, brotha.”

A fan commented, “My sincere condolences to Mrs. & Mr. Roy Jones Jr.  and their family, let’s cover this great man with love in his time of need #TenCount  R.I.P.”
