\u201cWe are saddened by the news<\/a> of Adam Perkins passing,\u201d tweeted the Texas-based restaurant group<\/a> Wednesday of the Boston-born influencer\u2019s death. \u201cHe brought laughter to so many of us and will always be remembered and cherished. Rest In Peace, Adam.\u201d<\/p>\n

His family soon discovered that not all social media presences would be so respectful.<\/p>\n

Adam\u2019s twin Patrick Perkins first announced via Instagram on Tuesday that his 24-year-old brother had died on April 11 \u2014 but chose not to disclose the cause of death.<\/p>\n

Chili\u2019s also shared with its 405,700 followers a touching TikTok montage<\/a> compiled by Adam\u2019s twin, which depicted the late star getting a haircut, petting a dog and other candid snapshots from his life. <\/p>\n

Patrick captioned the moving montage, \u201cAdam Perkins 1997 \u2014 forever and ever. I love you my brother. Always.\u201d<\/p>\n

This followed a series<\/a> heartwarming tributes from a variety of friends and admirers, including Instagram icon and fit-fluencer Amanda Cerny<\/a>\u00a0and Adam\u2019s ex-boyfriend Kelton Elliot.<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, while the majority of fans posted respectful homages, others repeatedly pestered Patrick about about how Adam had passed away. <\/p>\n

The late viral video star\u2019s protective sibling was quick to shut down pryers. \u201cThink I need to take this opportunity to explain something to you: If the cause of death is not released, there is a reason,\u201d he wrote to his 64,700 followers on the \u2018Gram.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Patrick added, \u201cThere is intention in every part of this. Please respect both of us by not asking that question \u2026 not sure how it\u2019s not obvious that I didn\u2019t say for a reason. Everything in this is intentional. Please respect that.\u201d<\/p>\n
