The heartbroken mom of the young passenger killed Sunday in an apparent stunt-driving mishap in the Bronx said she gave her son and “best friend” a gut-wrenching goodbye as he lay dead in the hospital, telling him “Mommy’s here.”
“He was amazing,” Sabrina Roberson-McCray said of her 21-year-old son, Giovante Roberson, who died when the Chrysler 300 he was riding in spun out of control and slammed into a parked fuel truck in Hunts Point, killing him and a 15-year-old girl.
“Those 21 years were the best years of my life,” Roberson-McCray, 44, told The Post at their Brooklyn home on Tuesday. “He was my best friend.”
“He loved Michael Jackson, mimicking him,” she continued. “I’ve got the videos of him doing the dance. He lived to travel. He loved to help me. Everything he did for me. He was here with me every day.”
Giovante worked alongside his mom as a deli clerk at BJ’s, where she is a supervisor.
But the pair worked different shifts, so someone would always be home with her two young daughters, ages 8 and 10.
