Liam Fitzgerald’s family is speaking out following his death, PEOPLE writes.
The 29-year-old content creator died in a motorcycle accident early Friday morning, his girlfriend, Jamie Lyn Rinaldi, previously announced in an Instagram post.
In a post on Sunday shared to Fitzgerald’s personal Instagram account, Rinaldi and members of his family shared a longer tribute memorializing his life and offering new details about some of his personal struggles.
The Nov. 1 post read, “Liam was a shining light. He had a way of lighting up every room he walked into, a personality impossible to forget, and a heart that loved deeply. From family and friends to teammates, strangers, and people around the world, he inspired so many.”
The post also shared that the content creator had “battled with alcohol on and off” throughout his life.
“He wasn’t perfect, and never pretended to be,” the post added. “But he always strived to grow and do better. He had dreams, ambitions, and so much more life to live.”
Authorities have not disclosed details about the crash.
Fitzgerald, who was based in Miami, had over a million followers on Instagram, where he shared posts about fitness, style and finances. He also served as a fitness coach, offering one-on-one training sessions, and maintained a profile on OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform known for adult content.
