In a separate post, Stone shared photos of her brother.
The caption read:
"RIP my brother Patrick Joseph Stone. 🕊️"
TMZ reported that Patrick's wife Tasha shared the news with friends on social media.
"My heart feels like it's been ripped out of my chest. Patrick went to be with our sweet River... I don't know what else to say, he was my world."
"I'm not sure what life is supposed to look like without my husband by my side and quite honestly I don't want to, but I will of course. I just hope that you always stay by my side watching over Hunter, Kaylee and I."
She finished:
"Until we meet again I will forever hold you and our wonderful (and some not so wonderful but just as important) memories close to my heart and will visit those memories always."
"I love you honey babe. My wish through all of this is that now at least River has his daddy with him and I hope the two of you are having the best time."
Our sincerest condolences to the Stone family—may Patrick rest in peace.
