Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski visited Dorian in January and signed a football for him. In January, more than 2,500 people gathered on Misquamicut Beach to spell out “#D-Strong” in the sand.

Dorian Murray's mother shares grief of son's death on social media
Dorian Murray's mother Melissa shared a message with more than 127,000 followers on the Praying for Dorian Facebook page to express her grief about the death of her 8-year-old son.
"So many emotions, so much love, so much sadness," she wrote Wednesday around 6:30 p.m. "It doesn't feel real. It's like he is just at his Dad's or grandmother's house and will he home later. I'm afraid it will only get harder. Lord give me strength." Melissa also shared a photo on Twitter, noting that despite her family's loss, "we stay #DStrong. Dad and I will smile everyday, because Dorian would want us to." Multiple friends of Murray's family posted on social media that the boy from Westerly died late Tuesday night. "It is with a very heavy heart that I share this news. Dorian J. Murray (#DStrong) has gained his beautiful angel wings tonight and is now pain free," Kathryn Thomas, who is a close friend of the Murray family, wrote on Facebook just after 11 p.m. "He was surrounded by people who love him and his transition to heaven was very peaceful. He was embraced by both mom and dad." Thomas went on to write that the family is asking for "privacy and respect" as they grieve. "The family has been through so much heartache and a devastating loss," Thomas wrote. "Please please respect our privacy at this time. Thank you. God Bless." Mourners posted condolence messages online for Dorian. "The Little Man changed the world forever. He brought people together who otherwise may have never crossed paths," Lori wrote on NBC 10's Facebook page. "Dorian's story touched so many lives. He was truly an inspiration to many," Ricardo wrote. On Friday, Melissa posted that her son's health was declining. She said Dorian, who was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, which is a rare form of cancer, had been sleeping almost 20 hours a day and that he stopped eating. By Tuesday morning, Melissa announced that her family started the Dorian J. Murray Foundation, a charity that raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer. Donations to the Dorian J. Murray Foundation can be made to P.O. Box 1225, Westerly, RI 02891. Dorian's story launched the DStrong hash tag on social media in early 2016. Support poured in from across the globe to help fulfill his final wish. In Rhode Island, the Division of Motor Vehicles customized a DStrong licence plate and Gov. Gina Raimondo declared January 20 as DStrong Day. "I was so honored that they established a DStrong Day to raise awareness to what he is doing for people," Melissa told NBC 10 News in January. The House of Representatives on Wednesday honored Dorian by posting his photo on a monitor in House Chambers. "The State of Rhode Island has lost a remarkable young child," Speaker Nicholas Mattiello said. Dorian's obituary was posted online Wednesday, noting that "the family will be hosting a candle lit vigil at a time to be announced in the near future for all to come and show their love and support for Dorian and his loved ones." The Murray family is asking for donations to the foundation in lieu of flowers. See a gallery of #DStrong images. BY JESSICA A.
