DWTS pro-Sasha Farber lost his brother a year ago

Sasha took to his official Instagram to break the sad news and narrated in detail how the two cousins were close to each other. Andrew's death caused a void in Sasha's life and the DWTS pro wished to eulogize his late cousin to the best of his ability.

Sasha wrote: "This hurts beyond words, and never in a million years did I think I would be writing a post like this about my little cousin."

He then went on to recall his shared journey with Andrew back when they first landed in Australia: "Andrew and I came to Australia as little kids, and you could say we were partners in crime. Everywhere he went I went, & everywhere I went he went. I remember one day Andrew called me to come outside, He picked me up and he said I have a surprise for you, we drove to a private airport, where I soon realized I was going to be his first passenger on a 4-seater plane. He was so excited I’ll never forget it."

Sasha ended on an emotional note by saying: "I have so many stories with Andrew and they will always be in my memory, it is a very hard time for all our friends and family. I love you Andrew and I will always cherish our times together R.I.P 💔and we will laugh and joke again I promise, LOVE YOU MY DEAR COUSIN"
