Sanders Jr. took to his Instagram story to share an old photograph featuring himself alongside L.A.F and another friend.

“REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER,” Sanders Jr. captioned the photo.

In a touching tribute to his late friend L.A.F, Sanders Jr. shared a series of pictures from L.A.F.'s Instagram account, "lafmoneyteam," one of which was originally posted in April 2019.

Six months after battling serious health complications, Deion Sanders celebrated a milestone in his recovery from blood clots. Deion Sanders Jr. posted a video on Instagram last month where Sanders was jogging.
