Each had so much more to give.

But they both believe they need to be good citizens of the world, at the same time.

They did their jobs with intelligence, purpose and compassion.

Thats why this feels like such a gigantic loss.

So much of this brought back Chris to me.

My relationship with him was as paternal as it was fraternal.

Franklin was really Michaels older brother, and he took that role seriously.

Youd love seeing them together because these were two good people who had this bond.

It gets you thinking, how can such bad things happen to such good people?

There is no real answer.

Franklin Latt said to Deadline: Michael was my baby brother and best friend.

We traveled the world together, spoke everyday and were always looking towards what our next adventure would be.

To know Michael was to understand that he lived his life with intention.

The outpouring of love and support from all those he touched has been gratifying for our family beyond words.

Deadline sends condolences to his family and friends.
