After his death, Loso was remembered for his legacy of giving back to others.

In 2018, Loso and two of his friends gained local media attention for designing a water filtration system to help those living in Honduras, according to WCCO-TV. They then went on a trip to the country with the Cornerstone Church in Crystal to deliver the device.

“The kids weren’t getting clean and healthy water, so we decided to change that,” Loso said at the time.

A pastor with the church said the people Loso encountered in Honduras still use the filtration system, according to WCCO-TV.
