The tragic passing of Adam Perkins

In an Instagram message, Adam's brother shared the news of his passing but gave no reason or cause of death as of yet.

"I can’t even really put into words what this loss means for me. i’m often asked the question, “what’s it like to be a twin?” and my response is usually, “what’s it like to NOT be a twin?" being a twin is a very central part of my identity. it’s all i’ve known. and i’m struggling to find the words to explain what it will be like for me to live in this world without him. my best friend." - Patrick Perkins

Perkins' brand of comedy separated him from the rest in the mid-2010s. His whacky, out-of-context humor resonated with the audience of the now-defunct platform Vine.

Perkins also featured his brother Patrick in some Vines and will always be remembered for making people smile across the world.
