In the aftermath of Keough's death, his 31-year-old sister, actress Riley Keough, has posted on Instagram multiple times about her family's loss, calling her brother in August, \"Love of my life.\" On Wednesday, she shared a series of photos and captioned them, \"Happy Birthday beautiful angel.\"

Happy Birthday beautiful angel ⛈❤️⛈

A post shared by Riley Keough (@rileykeough) on Oct 21, 2020 at 8:44am PDT

Benjamin Keough was a relatively private individual, though he did appear in the 2005 documentary \"Elvis by the Presleys.\" He also participated in the music video of his mother's 2012 duet with his late grandfather, \"I Love You Because.\"

He is survived by his mother and sister, as well as his father, musician Danny Keough, and his 11-year-old twin siblings, Harper and Finley Lockwood.

\"Please wait for me my love, and hold my hand while I stay to continue to protect and raise your little sisters and to be here for Riley,\" Presley wrote in her message Wednesday. \"I know you would want that.\"
