Many Avengers fans worldwide mourned over Chadwick Boseman's death, including a 7-year-old kid in Missouri. To express his condolences to Black Panther actor, the kid had created his version of the actor's memorial.

Kian Westbrook, King Westbrook's son, honored Black Panther by replicating Tony Stark's memorial scene in Avengers: Endgame. King posted an image of his son as a tribute to the late actor on Twitter. Later on, the post garnered 600,000 likes and around 80,000 retweets on Tuesday evening, Sept. 1.
"MY BABY BOY AND THE AVENGERS HOLDING A MEMORIAL FOR BLACK PANTHER #Wakanda4Ever," Kian's father wrote on Twitter.
Kian's family clarified that their tribute for Boseman was not intended for momentary internet fame. His mother helped him to hold the mini memorial for Boseman.
The kid's idea came from the memorial service held at the last scene of Avengers: Endgame. He wanted to remake the scene using his set of Avengers action figures to say farewell and honor the death of Wakanda's King, who died on Aug. 28 at the age of 43 after suffering from colon cancer.
"His mom got a box and put a silk pillowcase over it and leaned Black Panther on that," said King Westbrook.
Kian's father said that his son used the medal he won from school on the mini tribute. An Iron Man glove can also be seen on the ground where Black Panther is lying.
Kian may be the biggest fan of Black Panther
King said that Kian sees himself as an Avenger, and the image posted on Twitter shows it alongside his action figures and striking the "Wakanda Forever" symbol.

He added that Kian was so devastated by Boseman's sudden death. His son looked up Chadwick as he played the role of Black Panther--his son's favorite superhero. King added that Kian first watched Black Panther when he was four years old.
The movie positively impacted the kid's life after seeing that there is a superhero that looked like him and his dad. After Kian's image went viral, his father saw how strong Boseman's influence in the world.
