Trevor Moore, a comedian, actor and co-founder of the sketch comedy group, “The Whitest Kids U Know,” has died at age 41. 

Moore’s manager confirmed to Deadline that his client passed on Friday evening following an accident. He also issued a statement on behalf of his wife Aimee Carlson and the Moore family.

“We are devastated by the loss of my husband, best friend and the father of our son. He was known as a writer and comedian to millions, and yet to us he was simply the center of our whole world,” the statement read. “We don’t know how we’ll go on without him, but we’re thankful for the memories we do have that will stay with us forever. We appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone. This is a tragic and sudden loss and we ask that you please respect our privacy during this time of grieving.”

Moore kicked off his sketch comedy career when he co-founded and became the leader of the group , “The Whitest Kids U Know.” He also wrote and directed on the Disney XD series, ”Walk the Prank,” about four kids who pull real pranks on unsuspecting victims.

Most recently, Moore parlayed his comedy chops into co-creating and executive producing the Disney series “Just Roll With It,” a show where the actors let their show’s audience decide what happens. He was also the creator and host of Comedy Central’s “The Trevor Moore Show.” 

Comedy Central tweeted a brief tribute to Moore on Saturday afternoon, writing, “Trevor Moore was an incredible talent and a vital member of the Comedy Central family. We will miss him dearly.”
