‘16 and Pregnant’ alum Whitney Purvis’ son Weston Jr. dead at 16: ‘My worst nightmare’

Whitney Purvis’ 16-year-old son, Weston, has died.

The “16 and Pregnant” alum mourned her eldest child in a heartbreaking statement via Facebook on Monday.

“This is so hard to write,” the former reality star, 33, captioned multiple photos with the little one. “My beautiful son, Weston has passed away. He was only 16 years old.”

Purvis called “life … cruel and unfair,” adding, “I just don’t understand. Oh my baby is gone and I don’t know what to do with myself. He was so perfect.

“This is really my worst nightmare come true,” she continued. “How do you go on in life after losing a child? I’m in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don’t want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can’t describe the pain I am feeling.”

The former MTV personality concluded the message by addressing her late son.

“I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much,” she wrote. ” You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can’t go on without you. Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon.”

Purvis welcomed her baby boy in April 2009 with Weston Gosa.

While Purvis did not divulge further details about the teenager’s cause of death, her ex’s wife, Amy Gosa, wrote that Weston Jr. was “not breathing” when they attempted to wake him at 7 a.m. Monday morning.

“We attempted CPR and called an ambulance,” she explained via Facebook. “The paramedics attempted it as well and took him to the hospital in Gordon County where he was pronounced dead.”

Amy noted that Weston Jr., who she praised as a “brilliant, smart and funny” boy, “had several health issues as well as diabetes,” but they are awaiting autopsy results.

She concluded, “We are completely heartbroken and in shock. It was so unexpected.”
