“I’d like to remember him that way. For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment. My heart is with his mother and family at this time and please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone.”

Dominic Fike honors Angus Cloud during Houston concert
Musician and “Euphoria” Season 2 castmate Dominic Fike paid tribute to Cloud during his show at the 713 Music Hall in Houston. “I guess I lost a friend of mine recently. He died the other night, which is wild to say because I don’t deal with grief often. I haven’t had a lot of death happen around me, and this was the first time I feel like I knew the person well enough to cry over and feel something. It was weird,” he told the crowd as he strummed his guitar.
“I sometimes look at people like sparks. I zoom out, and I think people have wavelengths. If you zoom out far enough, you see some people — probably not a lot of us at all — but I think if you zoomed out millions of miles, you would see this kid’s spark,” he said of Cloud. “You could see it from so far away, even if it was a short flash. He would light up a room, any room he walked in.”
Fike added that although he “felt stupid” about performing, he believed Cloud “would’ve wanted me to do that. He would’ve been like, ‘No, do the show, have fun.'”
