Floyd Roger Myers Jr., who portrayed a young Will Smith in the hit 1990s sitcom “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” has died at the age of 42.
Myers died of a heart attack, according to TMZ. Myers’ mother, Renee Trice, confirmed he died early Wednesday morning at his home in Maryland, TMZ reports.
She said Myers had three heart attacks in the past three years.
Myers appeared in a 1992 episode of “Fresh Prince.” He also portrayed a young Marlon Jackson in “The Jacksons: An American Dream” (1992), according to IMDb.com.
As an adult, Myers went on to own a Maryland-area duct cleaning business and cofounded The Fellaship Men’s Group, empowering men’s mental health as well as “support, self-improvement & real conversations,” according to the group’s Instagram page.
“RIP to our good brother @rocwonder one of our co founders. Gone but never will be forgotten,” the group said in a statement. “The mission will continue in your honor. Next mens meeting will be one for the books like we talked about! Love you bro, rest easy, big bro will take it from here.”
