“He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure, which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated,” a family spokesperson explained in a statement.
“The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him,” the statement concluded. “We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother.”
