Colleagues that trusted his vision, that lifted him up and forged a real brotherhood: you have no idea how pivotal those moments were."She continued,"Chad, today we recognize a lifetime of artistry. We recognize your skill and your devotion, and we cement your legacy as a hero and an icon. You lived with honor, and you walked with truth. You were as brilliant as you were beautiful as you were kind. We love you, we miss you, thank you."Chadwick Boseman's friends and family honor him at the Hollywood Walk of FameFilmmaker Ryan Coogler, while paying tribute to the late actor, said,"This is something that people who maybe played ice hockey with Wayne Gretzky can attest to, people who played basketball with Michael Jordan can attest to: there's something special about being that close to somebody that great.
