La Barrie's brother and mother have both posted tributes on Instagram, with his mom alleging that her son was "very drunk and got into a car with a drunk diver."

"From the tours, to the random videos we made, to our late night heart to hearts, I will never forget you," fellow creator Ryan Abe tweeted on Monday. "I know your saying was 'under appreciated,' but you are and always will be so f---ing loved."

Silva, a tattoo artist, was featured on season 10 of Ink Master and also has a heavy social media following.
