David admitted that he had not spoken much publicly about Perry since his death. Reflecting on their relationship, he explained how the actor had been more than the star recognized by millions of fans.
"He was someone the whole world felt like they knew, but to me, he was just my brother. He always started our conversations with 'Hey, brother,'" he wrote.
Along with his post, David shared a photograph from his wedding to Mia, featuring Perry and Zoe standing alongside the couple.
"This is Matthew and my sister Zoe at our wedding. Now they're both gone. It's a strange thing to watch the world remember someone while you're still trying to figure out how to live without the people you remember them with."

David, a music producer and sound designer, also revealed that he had been asked to compose music for the upcoming documentary.
"I was asked to write some music for the documentary, and it meant a lot to be able to contribute a small piece to tell his story. So if you watch, don't skip the credits on episodes 1 and 2. Those are mine."

Mia also spoke about the loneliness Perry experienced and his efforts to overcome addiction.
"My brother would talk about that feeling of emptiness or loneliness that he couldn't quite fill... He spent $7 million trying to get sober. That's how seriously he took his disease," she added.
