TRISH Goff’s son, Nyima Ward, is dead at the age of 27.
The late model is remembered for “chasing his dreams.”
His obituary – which does not include his cause of death – has been posted by the Roberts Funerals site.
“Nyima Lee Ward of Ocala, Florida blew into this world on January 2, 1997 destined to live life his own way,” the obituary read.
“He left it May 29, 2024, having lived fiercely, loved deeply, and made memories with the kind of fervor that only a young man who never met a stranger could do.”
“It wouldn’t have been unheard of to find Nyima with a stray animal he’d saved on the side of the road or calling his mom to ask about animal care tips,” the statement concluded.
Trish’s son is also described as “a boy of the world” with a love for travel and animals.
Nyima began modeling at just 18 years old, according to People.
He is the only child of 90’s supermodel-turned-real-estate-agent Trish and Aaron Ward.
‘MIGHT AS WELL TRY IT’
In March 2017, Nyima revealed to W Magazine about how he became a model.
“Both of my parents were models. My dad did a few Calvin Klein campaigns back in the day,” he said.
“And my mom started dating David Bonnouvrier, the owner of DNA Models.”
“And then they’ve just been trying to get me to sign forever and I was always like, “Nah, nah.” And then I turned 18 and I was like, “Might as well try it.”
He also revealed how many times the mother/duo worked on a shoot together.
“We shot for American Vogue when I was 16 or 15,” he recalled.
“And we got a cool shot. she was in a really crazy dress and I was in a Ralph Lauren suit and we were both floating in the air.”
“It was cool. We’ve shot a bunch of times when I was a kid, too.”
