The world has lost a bright and beautiful soul far too soon. Brantley Thomas Green, beloved son of American rapper Lil Wyte (Patrick Lanshaw) and Nicole Ann Lanshaw, passed away recently, leaving his family, friends, and community in deep sorrow. He was only 13 years old, full of life, love, and laughter.
Born in 2012, Brantley grew up in an environment filled with music, creativity, and love.
He was known for his golden heart, his infectious smile, and his ability to make everyone around him laugh. Those who knew him best describe him as a kind, joyful, and compassionate boy who lit up every room he entered.
Brantley’s passing has left a void that words can hardly fill. His mother, Nicole, shared heartfelt memories of their daily routines — morning hugs, chocolate milk runs, and car rides filled with laughter and music. She described him as her “beautiful, sweet, loving boy” and “the wild one” who always cared deeply for others. Sadly, behind his radiant smile, Brantley faced the silent pain of bullying, which ultimately led to his tragic passing.
The heartbreaking news has shaken many across the nation, with fans, friends, and loved ones offering prayers and support for the Lanshaw family.
Messages of love and awareness have flooded social media, urging people to teach kindness and compassion — a reminder of the silent battles many young people endure.
Brantley’s short but impactful life will forever be remembered for the warmth he brought to those around him.
He loved his family deeply, especially his parents and siblings, and cherished every shared moment.
His light continues to shine in the memories of those who knew him best.
He is survived by his parents, Patrick “Lil Wyte” Lanshaw and Nicole Ann Lanshaw, his siblings, extended family, and countless friends who adored him.
A celebration of Brantley’s life will be announced by the family once arrangements are finalized.
In honor of his memory, the family encourages everyone to spread kindness, speak love, and stand against bullying — so that no other child feels unseen or unloved.
Rest in peace, sweet Brantley Thomas Green.
Your laughter, love, and light will live on in every heart you touched.
