rest in power theo huxtable aka malcom-jamal warner

one of my fav episodes of “the cosby show” was theo and this shirt issue.
i think he was going on a date and denise offered to make him a shirt.
i loved when he walked in the room after he put on her creation:

malcom-jamal warner,
who played theo huxtable,
is someone who did his own thing and stayed off the radar.

i don’t recall hearing much about him but Foxhole,
i was saw an update that he passed away unexpectedly.
i legit gasped out loud at this news…

“The Cosby Show” alum Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died at the age of 54, TMZ has learned.

TMZ has an unconfirmed, though reliable source who says Warner has died as a result of an accidental drowning.

Malcolm‑Jamal leaves behind a wife and daughter — he chose not to publicly share their names, always keeping his family life private.

i am in shock.
i know we all have to die one day but when we hear about deaths like this,
and not folks living out to their golden years,
it is very heartbreaking.
theo was a beloved character and an iconic black TV son on a show many of us grew up with.
even though cosby pretty much destroyed his own legacy,
it doesn’t take away what “the cosby show” was to many of us
may malcolm’s legacy continue to shine even after his death.
sheesh,
rest in power theo.

lowkey: they are reunited again…

i remember when she passed away.
people spoke so highly of her.
