"The Suite Life Of Zac And Cody" Stars Take To Twitter To Mourn the Loss of Beloved Costar
He was not on the list.
Yesterday, one of the beloved stars of Disney Channel's Suite Life On Deck, Windell D. Middlebrooks, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 36. The actor had starred in a number of commercials and appeared in many TV shows throughout his career, but was best known for his role as Kirby Morris on Suite Life On Deck.
His sudden death shocked fans and costars alike, and many of them have taken social media to mourn his loss.
Dylan Sprouse posted a picture of a Windell bobble head, with this touching caption. "It was a pleasure to know ya big guy. I'll always have the laughs, this souvenir, and all the good moments we shared on the set. You were a bundle of joy to know and the world will be amiss without you. Rest in peace Windell."
Dylan's twin brother Cole and Suite Life stars Brenda Song and Debby Ryan took to Twitter to remember Windell.
Fans have also taken to social media to mourn the loss of the actor, using the hashtag #RIPKirby to remember him.
For one season, he worked at the famed Texas Musical Drama, near Canyon, Texas. He started as a hospitality employee, yet he would go on to have a successful acting career on the stage and screen. Middlebrooks worked on The Suite Life on Deck, Hannah Montana, My Name is Earl, and Chocolate News. He is best known for his Miller High Life beer ads, playing a deliveryman who, if he considers the situation to be adverse to "the high life" (such as an expensive restaurant or a skybox at a baseball game), will confiscate all the Miller High Life from the location. He appeared in HBO's Entourage and portrayed a recurring character in the ninth season of Scrubs.
Middlebrooks was a guest on Adam Carolla's podcast on April 2, 2009. He also appeared on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as a character who marries a transgender ex-love of Mac and has a child with her, of which Dee is the surrogate mother. He appeared as a regular cast member in the medical/procedural drama television series Body of Proof, playing an assistant coroner. The show premiered on ABC in March 2011 and ended in May 2013
Our thoughts are with Windell's family and friends.
