Supermodel’s Son Dead At 27
Model Nyima Ward has passed away on May 29. He was 27 years old and is the son of supermodel Trish Goff and her ex Aaron Ward.
His obituary stated Nyima “lived fiercely, loved deeply and made memories with the kind of fervor that only a young man who never met a stranger could do. Nyima was born in New York City. In Tibetan, Nyima means “the Sun.” There is no doubt that when he was born, he was the sun to parent’s Aaron Ward and Trish Goff’s whole system. He remained there throughout his life.”
He is described “as boy of the world, traveling extensively, who grew into a man of the earth, falling in love with farming and animals and chasing his dreams from California to Florida.” Then continues, 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.”
