On March 7, mgk took to Instagram to share a message. He said, “Crazy…I didn’t even cry this hard when my dad died. I’ve lost a lot of friends, but I’ve never lost a brother. We’ll never get another Dingo on this planet. A true rockstar without ever needing to make a song, the most loyal, loud, charismatic, funny, and annoying human I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”

He continued, “I’ll miss your epic toasts, I’ll miss dapping you up and my hand hurting every time because you had some odd amount of Australian strength goin’ on, I’ll miss your bellyflops, I’ll miss watching you walk through the door and lifting the energy of every pivotal event in my adult life, I’ll miss you pissing me off, but most of all I’ll miss your laugh. You were the glue between all of us.”
mgk added, “Telling my daughter you’re gone was one of my hardest phone calls, because she loved you so much. And I’ll never forget when she was too young to understand your name was Dingo so she called you Ping Pong.”
The artist concluded, “I feel like you’re up there with my new child, dressed up in a hilarious costume making them laugh, getting ready to send them down. I couldn’t ask for a more bittersweet birth blessing. Life will always be less without you, but legends never die. we’ll all miss you, brother.”
“your name forever” Lyrics:
So I think it’s, uh, time for us to move on, where will we go?
Everything has to come to an end, huh? I’m not ready for it
Someone call me back, I’ll paint my coffin black if no one will
I never thought the last time I’d seen you would be the last time I’d seen you
I hopped on the bike that you gave me the day I rode to nowhere, hoping that I’d reach you
The last argument that we had, I said things I shouldn’t have
I hurt you and I didn’t mean to
Your coat’s on the chair in my house right now
But you’re not there when all us need you
I guess at lеast you found the peace you hid
Bеneath the biggest light that we got to meet
I know you had to bury your brother
But now we gotta bury a brother, I hope that you’re finally free
Until I see you again, I’ll let these tears keep falling
‘Til I hear you again, you know we’ll all keep calling for you
Tell me, did you know it was time to say goodbye?
Tell me, did the heavens align where angels fly?
What happens, what happens when you kiss the sky?
Tell me, did you know it was time to say goodbye?
I picked up the phone
I can’t tell what the fuck’s going on, but I hear the tone
I fear my gut was right
‘Cause a minute ago my soul told my heart that somethin’ was wrong
Voice on the other end tryna find the words to phrase it
I know where this is going, but don’t say it, just hang up
Don’t say that he gave up, if this a nightmare, wake up (Wake up)
If there’s only one prayer that God hears tonight, please be this
Heaven’s got enough people already
So if you wanna take another soul, just don’t take his
I got a kid on the way that he gotta make laugh
And we all not ready for those laughs to end
But I knew when the phone rang again after we said amen
We just lost a best friend
Tell me, did you know it was time to say goodbye?
Tell me, did the heavens align where angels fly?
What happens, what happens when you kiss the sky?
Tell me, did you know it was time to say goodbye?
Something’s not right here, someone went missing tonight
Nothing feels right here, no one makes it out alive
Something’s not right here, someone went missing tonight
Nothing feels right here, no one makes it out alive
Tell me, did you know it was time to say goodbye?
Tell me, did the heavens align where angels fly?
What happens, what happens when you kiss the sky?
Tell me, did you know it was time to say goodbye?
