The brother of University of Alabama student James Gracey posted a tearjerking tribute to his older sibling, whose body was found floating in the Mediterranean Sea outside a club in Barcelona.
“To my Beautiful Big Brother Jimmy,” younger bro Tommy Gracey penned in the touching Instagram post.
“I’m gonna miss all the texts and calls about hockey, school, and life in general. I’m not ready to say goodbye to that,” the grieving brother wrote Friday, adding elsewhere, “I would do anything to have just one more conversation with you.”

“When I visited you for the first time at bama [sic] and I ran into your arms is a memory I will cherish forever, thank you for that.”
He included snaps of the two from hockey games, family photos from Christmas and vacations, and several images of the two loving brothers simply hugging.

“Thank you for everything. I just can’t believe that’s all over. I will do my best to pass on your legacy. What a ride dude. I can’t wait to see you again in eternal paradise. I love you and fly high, Jimmy,” the tribute concluded.
The 20-year-old Illinois-native spring breaker was last seen at 3 a.m. on March 17 after a night of partying at popular seaside nightclub Shoko Barcelona.
Surveillance video showed Gracey stumbling near the shore and falling into the water. His body was found on March 19th, outlet El Pais reported, citing authorities.

The Alabama student was alone at the time he was taken by the tides, just a few feet from the Japanese-themed club in the popular nightlife area of Barcelona, the footage revealed.
Gracey’s wallet, with his cash and other belongings inside, was found floating near his body.
His cellphone was found in a different person’s possession. Family stated that they were not sure whether the phone was lost or stolen from Gracey before his death.
While his death is considered likely accidental, investigators privately suspect he was under the influence of drugs, alcohol or both when he went into the water, a source told Fox News Digital.
The results of Gracey’s autopsy and toxicology report were pending Saturday, according to local police.
