Canāt imagine losing my sibling this early in life. All my energy goes out to him and his family. This is bigger than basketball.

>Some very tragic news in the basketball world has taken place, as Nathan Barrett, the younger brother of Toronto Raptorsā RJ, has passed away.
>Nathan also grew up playing basketball, and was given a [heartfelt tribute](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4gFMTHM6rT/?img_index=1) from a former coach, Chris Stewart, who he played for as a member of the Mississauga Monarchs.
>āOn March 12, my extended Monarchās family lost another member, Nathan Barrett,ā Stewart wrote on Instagram. āItās hard to believe this is the second time this has happened to my family and basketball community. Nathan was only with us for a short time in Grade 7 before he moved to Florida, but whenever he was back in Mississauga, the boys connected. I saw Nathan last summer, all grown up, a big smile and he was excited telling me how he was starting school to become a pilot. I always tell my former players if you were on my team even one season, you will always be my family and donāt forget it.
>āIf you have had the pleasure of knowing this family you know how much they do for the basketball community so keep them in your thoughts and prayers. No parent should ever have to bury a child, hug your kids today a little longer. You will be missed Nathan, RIP.ā
>The Raptors announced prior to last nightās game versus the Detroit Pistons that Barrett wasnāt available due to personal reasons.
>Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Barrett family and friends during this extremely difficult period.
>*More to comeā¦*
R.I.P young soul.
Stay strong RJ.

How did he die

Heās never going to be the same from a personal standpoint. Losing a sibling, especially at a young age, changes you to your very core. I went through something similar when my sister passed away at age 6 and I was 17. Time numbs everything but it leaves a lasting impact.
