Selkie Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 My kids loved that show, too. How sad - he is so young.? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That’s so sad. How horrible for him — and I felt even worse when I saw that he is married with four children. I hope the chemo will help prolong his life, but I wish there was more that could be done to help him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 My daughter is a huge fan. A lot of the kids who watched when they were little now have tumblr blogs where they make memes and talk about the show together. She said he'd been fighting it for a while. When I saw this post I was worried that she'd get some upsetting news this morning. I guess he's a really nice guy outside of the character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I saw the TMZ article that said he had died, and they showed a picture of him with his wife and children. He was so young and his poor family must be devastated. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my nearly 21 yo told me last night. He was on the upper end of the age it was aimed at but he still liked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
