Floyd Roger Myers Jr is a former child actor known for starring in Will Smith's Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. His family shared the tragic news of his death with TMZ, announcing he died from a heart attack. The star was at his home in Maryland when he died, and the star had already survived three heart attacks in the past three years. He made his on-screen debut as Young Will in a 1992 episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, before going on to star in The Jacksons: An American Dream and Young Americans. Since giving up his acting career, Myers went on to co-found the non-profit Fellowship Men’s Group, which focused on improving men’s mental health. He only starred in one episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but he has earned a place in the hearts of fans of the show. On the Facebook page 90's Kids Forever, one fan shared a photo of the child star upon the news of his death, saying: "Oh man I remember him, he was funny as young Will Smith." Another added: "He was awesome in FPoBA and in The Jacksons: An American Dream as kid Marlon Jackson." His family described him as a "devoted father, loving brother, and friend whose kindness, laughter, and warmth touched everyone he met". He leaves behind his four children, Taelyn, Kinsley, Tyler, and Knox. His sister Tyree Trice added on a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs: "Our loving family is now facing the unimaginable loss of someone who meant everything to us." Posting on Facebook, his mum added: "This is not supposed to be so." Myers retired from acting in 2000, before setting up Fellowship Men’s Group, who said of his passing: "Gone but never will be forgotten. The mission will continue in your honour. "Next men’s meeting will be one for the books like we talked about! Love you bro, rest easy, big bro will take it from here."
