Breaux’s friend, model Paris Brosnan, shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.
Paris shared a number of photos of himself and Ryan and wrote: “To my brother, who was talented beyond belief, possessed a heart of gold, had an energy that was infectious, a smile & laugh that lifted everyone’s spirit, and was a loyal and authentic friend to anyone he knew.
“You were just getting started and ready to show the world who you were. You were a leader and you had a whole army of loyal soldiers behind you.
“Thank you for being there for me when I needed you most, thank you for all the wild nights, thank you for your music and all the late night studio sessions with Fray, thank you for blessing us ALL with your presence on this earth.
“I will carry you in my heart always. Until I see you again brother. Ryan Breaux forever & Zeek Bishop forever.”
