“My only regret…” - Kirk Medas talks about feeling "far from perfect" in final posts before death

Floribama Shore alum Kirk Medas reflected on his "only regret" in life days before his demise.

The beloved MTV star died at the age of 33 after being hospitalized and on a ventilator for two weeks due to a "severe case of necrotizing pancreatitis," his family told TMZ. He eventually succumbed to liver failure.

In one of his final posts on social media, he reflected on how he had been trying hard to turn his life around over the past 12 months. In his final post, he can be seen striking a pose on a balcony. The post, dated April 16, came 2 days before he was placed in a Florida intensive care unit.

However, just six weeks before he fell gravely ill, he shared a heartbreaking post with his 310,000 followers. Alongside a video of Kirk Medas working out at the gym with his friends, with the words "it's up to you" imposed over it, the caption read:

"Lost a lot the past year but stayed resilient through it all. Mind, body, spirit. Changing my lifestyle completely was the start. Putting down the bottle and picking up the Bible was the best thing I ever done. My only regret is not making such changes earlier on in life. Still far from perfect but my mind is so much more clear. This is the loneliness men should go through. Me vs me."
