David James “Young King Dave” Nixon has passed away at 19—but not before imparting a little wit and wisdom on this bleak world.

His Instagram bio was changed on Thursday to announce his passing: “With deep regret we would like to inform you that YKD passed away and is at peace.” Dave was pursuing a rap career, and made music with his friends in their hometown of Middletown, NJ.

Chris Clemenza, his manager and friend since childhood, told me in a phone conversation that YKD had been in the hospital for weeks, recovering from a collapsed lung. He died from complications during recovery and hospital stay, according to Clemenza.
