Why Chadwick (Black panther) still lives

The dead can still live but only in the heart and mind of the living. A man who short-lived, yet left incredible memories on the wall. Chadwick will still live in the heart of generations to come, with his archives on many screenplays. I questioned my self, what footprint are we leaving behind?

Death

Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, which eventually progressed to stage IV before 2020. The outcry of his death shook the world. He had not spoken publicly about his cancer diagnosis. He never disclosed his health condition publicly for four years, which means he acted several films, including Marshall, Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and others with the occurrence of this cancer fulfilling his purpose on earth. Boseman died at his home of complications related to colon cancer on August 28, 2020, with his wife and family by his side.

May he rest in the bosom of the lord. Amen!
