Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s heartbroken mother is finally speaking out about her son’s tragic death last month.
Warner drowned during a family vacation in Costa Rica July 20 when he was caught in a rip tide.
Now, nearly three weeks later, his mother Pamela Warner has summoned the strength to speak out about his passing. And she’s doing it by honoring her son.
In an Instagram post, Pamela announced the “Malcolm-Jamal Warner Living Legacy” Instagram account. There she writes, “This is the official account honoring Malcolm-Jamal Warner, lovingly run by his mother, Pamela Warner.”
The first post on the account shows a picture of her late son smiling widely. Beside it, Pamela wrote, “In the weeks and months ahead, weâll be sharing updates on the work being done in his memory. Thank you for being here and staying connected.”
New Instagram Account Pays Tribute to Malcolm-Jamal Warner
The description of the new Instagram account honoring Malcolm-Jamal Warner says, “Official account honoring Malcolm-Jamal Warner. A space dedicated to celebrating his legacy and sharing updates on upcoming initiatives in his name.”
In her second post, mom Pamela put up a touching tribute to her 54-year-old son that reads, “He was a kind, loving man with a huge heart for humanity. He wanted all to be aware of their inner strength and that they could succeed, accomplish and transform. This was his latest mission and work, transformation, in order for you to be fully present in your life.”
In the post, Pamela called her son an “exceptional husband, father, and son â a man deeply in love with life, his wife, and his daughter.”
His mom went on, “He was not only my son, but also my teacher, coach, confidant, business partner, and best friend. He was the son that his father was immensely proud of and loved fiercely and unconditionally.” Pamela continued, “He was in love with the magic of being an actor, always studying and honing his craft. Though he began his musical journey a little later in life, at 26, he excelled as a bassist and formed his own band, Miles Long.”
“A poet as well as a musician, he released four albums â two Grammy-nominations and one Grammy award. At eight years old, after his first stage performance, he declared that being on stage was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. It became a self-fulfilling prophesy,” she continued.
“Malcolm left an indelible mark on the world and on countless hearts. All who met him, however briefly, were better for the encounter.”
Pamela Warner Says Her Son Was ‘At Peace and Did Not Suffer’
In a second slide in her tribute to her son, Pamela turns her attention to those grieving her son’s loss along with her.
She writes, “”As his mother, there is so much that I can say. It would fill volumes. But what I will say, is that I am so very blessed that he chose me to be his mother, to come into the world through the waters of my womb. It is an honor and blessing that will be with me all the days of my life.”
“For those of you who are at a loss, pained by the suddenness of his departure, ache for his presence or just to hear his voice one more time, to see his beatific smile one more time, be comforted that he was at peace and more importantly, he did not suffer. Malcolm was birthed through water and transitioned through water. This was his time. His mission on earth had been completed.”
“Hold close to whatever part of Malcolm’s life that touched yours. In keeping it near, you keep his spirit alive â nourishing you with the peace, love, joy and light that embodied Malcolm-Jamal Warner,”
