Raptors RJ Barrett’s Brother Dies, Family Is In Mourning

Nathan died on Tuesday, according to a statement from the family. Nathan’s age and the reason of death were not mentioned in the statement that the Raptors and Canada Basketball made on Thursday.

Rowan Barrett, the father of RJ and Nathan, is the general manager of Canada Basketball.

“While our family is devastated by this great loss, we will continue to cherish the memories and time spent together,” said the statement.

“Nathan was a God-fearing young man of strong character. He was thoughtful, kind, loving, compassionate, creative, admirable and driven.”

According to TMZ, Nathan was a guard at Montverde Academy and had aspirations of becoming a pilot. Chris Stewart, the younger Barrett brother’s former youth coach, honored him with a message on his Instagram page.

He stated, “Nathan was with us in grade 7 for a brief period of time before he moved to Florida, but the boys connected whenever he was back in Mississauga.” “Hug your kids a little longer today; no parent should ever have to bury a child.” Nathan, you’ll be missed. RIP.
