Whitney Purvis is deeply grieving the devastating loss of her beloved son, which has profoundly affected her life.
The 16 and Pregnant alum expressed her sorrow through a heartfelt message that pays tribute to her late son Weston Gosa Jr.—whom she had with ex-partner Weston Gosa—following the tragic news of his passing on June 2.
In her emotional tribute, Whitney—who rose to fame on the MTV show in 2009 while expecting Weston—shared some of her most cherished memories with her son, moments that will stay with her forever.
“I will always treasure our moments together,” she shared on Instagram on June 3. “The songs you loved, your infectious laugh, the different phases you went through, the adorable dolphin sound you made as a child, your radiant smile, your clever jokes.”
She continued to reflect on the significant milestones in Weston’s life, emphasizing his important role as an older brother to River, whom she and Weston Sr. welcomed in 2014 amidst their fluctuating relationship, and Collin Adonis, 2, whose arrival she joyfully announced on Instagram in 2023.
“From the first day of school to playing together, your initial swimming experience,” she reminisced, “crafting projects, dancing in your crib to the theme song of Law and Order: SVU, and being an incredible big brother.”
She concluded her emotional letter by reflecting on the poignant moments she shared with Weston from the very beginning of his life until the very end.
“The first time I held you,” she wrote, “and the last hug I gave you, are etched in my heart forever.”
Whitney continued by expressing, “I love you, Weston, more than words could ever convey. Rest in peace, my beautiful boy.”
