Frank Ocean's Mom Remembers 18-Year-Old Son Ryan Who Died in Car Crash

Frank Ocean's mother, Katonya Breaux, is remembering her late son, Ryan Breaux, who recently died in a tragic accident. In a heartbreaking Instagram post on Thursday, Katonya shared a sweet photo of herself with her 18-year-old son hugging her from behind.

She left the post captionless, and received a slew of positive, supporting and uplifting messages on the post.

Ryan, as well as his friend Ezekiel "Zeek" Bishop, died over the weekend after being involved in a fatal car crash in Thousand Oaks, California, according to multiple reports. Their vehicle reportedly collided with a tree in the center median of the roadway and was later engulfed in flames.

Katonya had celebrated Ryan's 18th birthday in September, writing alongside a throwback photo of him, "I spent hours going through photos because I know how specific you are and didn’t want you to ask me to take any down?."
