Damon Weaver has died of natural causes at the age of 23. The communications student, who was studying at Albany State University in Georgia, first gained national attention in 2009 for his interview at the White House with President Barack Obama.
Weaver was just 11 years old at the time and asked questions pertaining to education as well as issues in schools such as lunch programs and bullying.
A particular highlight was at the end of the interview, when Weaver asked Mr. Obama to be his homeboy, noting that then-Vice President Joe Biden had already took him up on the offer. Mr. Obama gladly accepted.
