Floyd Roger Myers Jr., the former child actor who appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has died. He was 42
The actor died from a heart attack on Wednesday morning at his home in Maryland, his mother Renee Trice told TMZ after her son previously survived three heart attacks in the last three years.
After making his onscreen debut as Young Will in 1992 episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Myers went on to play Marlon Jackson that year in the ABC limited series The Jacksons: An American Dream, also starring Angela Bassett, Vanessa Williams and Billy Dee Williams.

Since his time as a child actor, Myers co-founded the nonprofit Fellaship Men’s Group, focusing on men’s mental health. The organization paid tribute to Myers on Wednesday.
“RIP to our good brother @rocwonder one of our co founders.
Gone but never will be forgotten,” they wrote on Instagram. “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.”
