Chadwick Boseman’s brother changed his prayer for Chadwick during his last days on earth.
Derrick Boseman, Chadwicks older brother is a pastor.
He recalled his last conversation with Chadwick.
“Man, I’m in the fourth quarter, and I need you to get me out of the game,” Derrick told the Times his brother said to him during what he realized would be their last conversation. At first not seeming to understand the sports analogy, the elder Boseman brother realized that truth of what his brother was trying to tell him in that moment, sharing that he “then realized that he [Chadwick] was tired. He was ready to go.”
He told the New York Times.
“When he told me that, I changed my prayer from, ‘God heal him, God save him,’ to ‘God, let your will be done,’” Pastor Boseman reminisced. “And the next day he passed away.”
Chadwick’s other brother, Broadway dancer, writer and actor Kevin Boseman, also shared with the times how he chooses to remember his brother.
“I have been trying to remember Chad and not Chadwick,” Kevin, 48, said. “And there’s just been a lot of Chadwick in the air.”
Chadwick kept his illness from the public because according to his trainor, Chadwicks mother taught him to “not to have people fuss over him,” Greene told The Hollywood Reporter about Boseman’s mother, Carolyn. “He also felt in this business that people trip out about things, and he was a very, very private person.”
Addison Henderson, Chadwicks trainor also stated that “Some people wait a lifetime to get the opportunity that he had,” he added, “and Chad had so much wisdom, so much knowledge, so much inside of him that he wasn’t going to let this disease stop him from telling these amazing stories and showing his art in the prime of his life.”
