In one of his final posts to his one million followers on Instagram, Perdomo shared a number of snaps accompanied by the caption: "Day 77. Final calm before storm. #backontheroad."
One pic was of him reclining on a couch, another was a selfie in the mirror and the final was a photo of a motorcycle.

"For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person.
"Even writing about him in the past doesn't make sense. We are so sorry for Chance's family, and we are grieving the loss of our friend and colleague. Hug your loved ones tonight."
