The actor passed away at his home in Los Angeles after a private four-year battle with colon cancer.

Before his death, his wife was at his bedside alongside close family.

The couple were reportedly planning to tie the knot with a big ‘2020’ wedding before the cold hands of death snatched the actor away at the age of 43.

His wife, Ledward is a singer who graduated from California State Polytechnic University. 
Their budding romance was first confirmed in 2015, when the pair were spotted together by paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport.

To which she replied: ‘I love you’.
