There was no evidence of foul play in Harry’s death, authorities said, PEOPLE previously reported.
Matthew — also in the food industry as one of the founders ofCha Cha Matcha— opened up about his brother’s death in an emotional Instagram post a few days after the tragedy.
“Pretty much everything that’s good inside me comes from a lesson I learned along the way from Harry,” Matthew continued. “He paved the way for me to become the person I am today. I could never have asked for a better teacher or a better friend.”
“It’s really weird, I had dinner with him on Friday night, and spoke to him on the phone Saturday morning, the last thing I said to him was ‘love you frere’ and I am eternally grateful that I got to spend so much time with him. If you’re lucky enough to have a brother or a sister, please give them a big squeeze, and tell them how much you love them.”
“My brother passed away from sudden cardiac death, if you’re a young man, I urge you to go and get a heart scan,” he wrote. “SCD is the single largest cause of natural death in the United States, it takes the lives of 325,000 people a year, and it is twice as common in men as it is in women. We’re setting up a foundation in the coming days to help combat heart disease, and hopefully help others catch it early. I love you more than anything in the world frere.”
Harry’s popularPink Tacochain began in Las Vegas and now has locations across the United States, including Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles, and even has a food truck.
