The COVID-19 health crisis continues to wage war through communities throughout the United States and abroad. In New York City alone, the disease has become a strain on medical and financial institutions alike. Wooden, at the time of his death, had only recently been diagnosed with the virus. The drag and queer communities and Project Runway fans have been quick to herald Wooden’s passing with tributes and words of caution for others to stay safe.

Someone once said that relatives are the people you’re related to, but family is the collection of people who have your back no matter what. It’s clear that Nashom Wooden and Geoffrey Mac meant a lot to each other. Grief is never easy, so it’s a powerful gift for Mac to share his suffering with others who may not have the tools to cope with loss in the same manner that he has. COVID-19 is a phenomenal illness that has brought people together in strange ways, and alienated them in others. The loss of Wooden’s life and countless others should serve as a warning to people that no one is impervious to death or sickness. No one should be forced to bury a good friend, or have to mourn a loved one. May Geoffrey Mac and Wooden’s other close friends and family members take solace in knowing that at least his illness was short-lived, so that preserving his wonderful legacy can now be their main focus.
