Abloh had been battling this disease privately, all while continuing to excel in his career. At the time, he had been an artistic director at Louis Vuitton, since 2018. He was also the CEO of Off-White, a fashion brand that he had been running, since 2012.

As a devoted supporter of his community through his charities and passions, he was an eternal optimist who believed anything was possible.
