Yesterday (May 9), we learned that Christopher "Big Black" Boykin died from a heart attack. Now, his friend and co-star of "Rob & Big," Rob Dyrdek has broken his silence about his homie's sudden death.

If you're familiar with the hit MTV show "Rob & Big," you know how  close the two were. They were practically joined at the hip, as they  spent their days going on fun adventures with one another and have a  good time.

So naturally, Dyrdek took Big Black's passing extremely hard. This morning, the surviving show's co-star said on Instagram:

"My  heart is broken. I don't want to write this post. I don't want to  believe that this is reality. I am so thankful for you. We truly were  brothers that lived an unexpected unforgettable adventure. I just can't  fathom that it would end so suddenly. You will forever be in my heart."

Take a look at all of Dyrdek's tribute posts to Big Black below. RIP.
