Former child star Floyd Roger Myers Jr., known for his roles in the beloved sitcom “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and the television miniseries “The Jacksons: An American Dream,” has passed away at the age of 42, as reported by KTLA.

His mother, Renee Trice, revealed to TMZ that Myers Jr. succumbed to a heart attack at his home in Maryland early Wednesday. She disclosed that he had experienced three heart attacks over the last three years.

Renee Trice shared the heartbreaking news of her son’s passing on Facebook, directing friends and family to a GoFundMe page started by his sister, Tyree Trice. The page aims to provide financial support for funeral expenses and aid his children during this challenging time.

The GoFundMe message, written by Tyree, speaks to the profound loss felt by those who knew Myers Jr.: “It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of my beloved brother, Floyd Roger Myers Jr., who tragically left us today after a sudden heart attack. He was a devoted father, loving brother, and friend whose kindness, laughter, and warmth touched everyone he met.”

Myers Jr. is survived by his four children, Taelyn, Kinsley, Tyler, and Knox. The family hopes that the fundraising efforts will help ease the financial burden following this sudden tragedy.

In 1992, Myers Jr. captured audiences with his portrayal of a young Will Smith in the third season of “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” in the episode “Will Gets Committed.” That same year, he also appeared as a young Marlon Jackson in the miniseries “The Jacksons: An American Dream,” showcasing his early talent in the entertainment industry.

In 2000, he played a student in an episode of “Young Americans,” his IMDb shows.

Most recently, Myers owned Dr. Duct, an air duct and dryer vent cleaning company, he wrote on Instagram. He also co-founded The Fellaship Men’s Group, an organization founded to “address the often-overlooked emotional and mental health challenges that men face,” according to its website.

“RIP to our good brother [Myers] one of our co-founders,” the group wrote on social media. “Gone but never will be forgotten. The mission will continue in your honor. Next men’s meeting will be one for the books, like we talked about! Love you, bro. Rest easy, big bro will take it from here.”
