Alongside several photos and a video, Diana Pinto, Keough’s girlfriend took the time to honor his life. The Instagram post came a week after Presley’s son died unexpectedly after shooting himself in the chest.

In her lengthy post, Pinto described her late boyfriend “the most beautiful boy I have ever seen.” She noted how, in life, he’d touched those around him and them “light up” when he entered a room.

CHERISHING THEIR MEMORIES

Pinto promised to “cherish all the memories we’ve made together and keep them close to my heart.” She revealed how his silliness still made her laugh and shared how she thought of him “every second of every day.”

Losing him led her to know the “true meaning of grief.” She pleaded with her late boyfriend to give her the strength to carry on living because she didn’t know how to do it without him.
