What a service. I do, Ben, stated a comment on the RIP Ben Breedlove Facebook page.

The comment was a reference Breedlove's viral videos he posted a week before his death. In the two-part video series, Breedlove shared about a vision (or dream) he had during a near death experience.

In the vision, he was in a white room with no walls that just went on and on. His favorite rapper Kid Cudi was there with him. He described a part of the vision as THE BEST Feeling.

He ended his video with the question Do you believe in Angels or God? and the answer I Do.

Rest In Peace. I hope you went back to the white room with Kid Cudi, because that's where you wanted? to be <3 You are such an inspiration, wrote another commenter.
