"Liam Payne was one of/my favorite member in One Direction and was a big part of my childhood, so a part of me is sad that he's gone and I'm sad that he passed the way he did"

and

"Liam Payne did a lot of terrible things that hurt a lot of people and as sad as his sudden death is, it doesn't absolve him of his actions for me"

are two ideas that can and should mutually coexist with each other.

He’s the reason there was a 1D.

He was daddy direction.

He brought so many of us together, as we pushed against the terrible people who hated on this boy they didn’t know.

I can’t imagine what his bandmates are going through. Those who became men alongside him.

“ Former One Direction singer Liam Payne died outside a hotel in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires,

local police confirmed on Wednesday, saying the 31-year-old British musician was found dead after falling from his third floor hotel room balcony. ”

may you be gone, but never forgotten and live on in our hearts as a genuine man with such an angelic voice and soul. <33
