<p>"Losing a chosen family member is never easy. Today, I find myself in disbelief wishing I could stay in denial just a little longer," she wrote.</p>
<p>The former Victoria's Secret Angel fondly recalled the time she first met him at 16, a special moment that marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship.</p>
<p>"Whoever you worked for, whoever you fought for you gave your all. And whoever were your girls, you protected them fiercely , you fought for them to have the very best, always standing in their corner. I'll never forget those quiet days during COVID, when the world felt heavy, and you kept me laughing. You made the silence lighter. I've known you for more than half my life, and I'll hold the fondest memories of you forever. You were, and always will be, my chosen family. Rest easy @louie_chaban</p>
<p>Easy movement to the other side," she added.</p>
<p>Throughout his career, he worked alongside top modeling agencies including The Lions, Ford, Elite, DNA and Women.</p>
