"You (Trevyn) have left a gaping hole in my heart," she said in the post.

Authorities say he was driving unlicensed on Highway 168 near Sample Road Friday afternoon when he collided with a boulder on the side of the road.

He was airlifted to the hospital where he spent several days before passing away.

Mackey was a football player at Clovis West High School, playing for his uncle, Eric Brown.

"When Trev walks into the room, he definitely lights it up. Loves music, especially rap music. Really passionate about football, his family, his friends," Brown previously said to Action News.

The family has a GoFundMe set up to help with expenses.
