Well, to be honest, if he starts to dislike you for the fact you just trusted him with a secret like that, then he's not exactly what I would call a dependable friend. If he really did that because you told him that, then I would say he's what you call a "fair weather friend." And those aren't the kinds of friends I'd really advise...
But, really, don't be so cynical. If you really think of him so highly, give him a chance before blocking him out. Who knows? He may just text you soon, or call you, or send you some kind of message. It very well could have been something out of his control. For example, my ex and I were texting; but suddenly, she disappeared. I thought she'd fallen asleep, so I went to bed. Woke up the next morning, and nothing. Three days? Nothing. Two weeks? Nothing. It was another month until she even said a thing to me; apparently she fell asleep, her brother took her phone, turned it off, and hid it in his car because she was up a little later than usual, on a weekend.
Now, I'm not saying your friend has family like that, or that that is his situation. But literally anything could have happened. This does seem coincidental, though. But still, give him more time; it may be something he really needs to think about, or really needs to overcome. I know you think highly of him, but you should really consider letting go if he won't accept you for who you are. If he never responds again, so be it; you can't force anyone to like you, even if you thought they did.
I really don't think you should have removed him, to be honest. I know it was probably an impulsive decision, but that may have done more harm than good. I say send him another contact request, with a little apology for removing him so hastily. If he denies it, then you know where it stands, and you must move on; spending time worrying about the people who dislike you is pointless. If it has happened, and I hope not, but; stick with these forums, buck up, make some friends, and in no time, you'll have a brand new friend whom you can spend time with just like you used to with him.
I hope everything turns out for the better.
