"By now I'm sure many of you have heard that Christina has passed away due to gunfire after a show," her brother, Marcus Grimmie, wrote in a heartbreaking Facebook post following her tragic death.
"Christina was more than my sister. She was a partner in life," added Marcus. "A superstar. A goofball. Introverted. And a friend to everyone. Genuinely. But above all...she was my baby sister. She loved the Lord and her family and was always there for me and I honestly don't know what I'll do without her."
