“Our beautiful boy Bradley Rofer is now an angel in heaven,” Josette wrote in the post.

The announcement came two days after sheannouncedyoung Bradley would be taken off life support. In the post, Josette called her son “truly special and one of a kind.”

“Incredibly loving, giving, empathetic, happy, and fun - always radiating pure joy,” she wrote on Sept. 3. “He is a true mensch. He is the best and most perfect son and brother that anyone could ever ask for. He enriched our lives and positively impacted everyone around him and even those who didn’t know him personally. He will be in our hearts forever and deeply deeply missed.”

PEOPLE reached out to the California Highway Patrol and Orange County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday, but did not immediately hear back.

Josette told theOrange County Registerthat at the time of the accident, Bradley was walking his bike as she watched him from her car. He was wearing a helmet, she said, and it was the first time he planned to take his bike to school.

“Anybody who knew him knows he was an old soul,” she added. “I went to him for guidance.”
