Purvis’ post continued, ‘Oh my baby is gone and I don’t know what to do with myself. He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true.’
‘How do you go on in life after losing a child? I’m in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don’t want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can’t describe the pain I am feeling,’ she added.
‘I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much. You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can’t go on without you. Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon. April 2, 2009 – June 2, 2025,’ she concluded.
Gosa’s post added, ‘We are completely heartbroken and in shock. It was so unexpected.’
‘Losing a child is the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I hope I never experience it again,’ she added.
‘He was the most amazing son I could have asked for. He was brilliant, smart, funny and had so much potential in life. It doesn’t feel real,’ she continued.
‘Please keep our family and whitney in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn such a brilliant amazing life that was our son. Thank you,’ Gosa concluded.

Weston was born during the first season of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, to Whitney’s boyfriend at the time, Weston Lewis Gosa.
While the show ultimately spawned MTV’s Teen Mom franchise, Whitney was one of just two moms not picked to appear in that show, along with Ebony Jackson.
Weston Owen Gosa Jr. was born April 2, 2009, with Whitney giving birth to their second son River in 2014, just before they split up again.
Whitney ultimately lost custody of both sons to Weston Sr., and she was arrested last year for failing to make child support payments.
Weston Sr. has been arrested multiple times as well for driving on a suspended license, while both Whitney and Weston Sr. were arrested for smashing electronics in 2012.
