    David and TreDarrius took the world by storm when their wedding aired on the hit MTV Show “My Teenage Wedding.” This earned them the title as “The Youngest Black Gay Couple to Marry in the United States.” Both grooms were 19 at the time of their marriage.



    Sadly, Tre’Darrius Anderson suddenly passed in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee on last week. TreDarrius passing came as a shock to all of those who came to know him through his vast social media following and popularity.



    Sympathy poured in locally and from around the world as many were left stunned and filled with sadness. Post after post filled the timelines on social media about his passing and expression of condolences to husband David and TreDarrius’s relatives.

    R.I.P. But am I the only one wondering what happened?- what the 'sudden' death was for a young guy in his early twenties?
    Regardless any death at that young of an age is a waste and a tragedy.

    Incredibly Sad. However I agree with you @ColumbusGuy. What the hell happened? What could possibly be the cause for such a young man to pass away? Especially if they say suddenly?

    I am not saying this is the case, but Im thinking it may be. My people (black people) are notorious for letting loved ones pass away and acting like they don't want to say what happened. It frustrates me to no end when that happens. A lot of us think its nobody business or they want to save face in some ignorant way or other.

    To me if you put out someone passed away and don't put out the cause, especially a young person, than you are doing others a dis-service.

    If they passed away of health, let others know so they can possibly see themselves in this young man and go get check ups and take their health more serious. If he passed away of drugs, others should know in order to be alert as a recent reminder to stay clean. etc.

    Of course no one is obligated to give every detail of why or how a person passed away, but I just saw the Go Fund me page and its very vague. It just seems it would have been a bit more respectful if your asking strangers for money, to provide them with more information.

    Either way his family and husband is in my prayers.

    That is ominous.

    Maybe it is just me and my background and all etc. but I would be a mess and could not possibly be posting stuff on social media like this. At my partner's funeral I could barely move or speak I was such a wreck I was losing my mind. Not judging this guy or anything-really I am not people handle things differently and he has spoken very nicely and eloquently-I just would not have been able to do it like that.

    Yeah I hate to speculate but the "suddenly" word leaves so much open to it...

    That could only mean accident or suicide. If it were an accident, especially a car accident, I don't see why there would be a hesitation to say that for his supporters/friends. Suicide on the other hand...the "note you left me" revelation and secrecy on the details of his death adds to that conclusion....

    Smh, if that's the case, this once again shows how tough it is out there for us gay males...even for the ones who appear to be so happy and content on social media, maybe especially for them since they have to maintain an image for the public.

    I remember viewing their wedding special a few times when I was struggling with my sexuality. I admired their courage. Wishing David all the best and may he find the strength to love life and to love again as time heals all wounds.

    Unfortunately that is not always true. Some wounds never heal-you just learn to live with them. I don't think many parents ever really 'heal' and 'get over' losing a child for instance. I do think though that time, if nothing else, allows one to adjust to just about any loss, or anything. If nothing else, eventually time will ease the pain of the wound at least. JMHO.

    My mother had a twin and she still talks about the pain of losing her twin in childhood-and she is 84 years old.

    I hate to speculate too. But.. think i saw online the partner saying something like "u don't have to feel no more pain". I just think he was sick (had been dealing w/ sickness for some time) and passed.

    I know from late family members that had been sick but never told us of the severity of their sickness. We thought they were doing well and was having a fast recovery. Then suddenly they just passed.

    Its Just sad he pass soo young.:(

    After finding out about this on Facebook, I literally couldn't just scroll down to another part and kept it moving. I was just in complete shock when I first heard of this. It is completely sad that such a tragedy had to happen to TreDarrius. I really admitted David and Tredarruis' love for each other. I honestly do not know how David will be able to move in with his life but I wish nothing but positivity in his life and my condolences are still with him and Tredarrius' family and friends.
