‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ Star Floyd Roger Myers Jr. Dead at 42

Floyd Roger Myers Jr., once a child star on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has passed away at the age of 42.

His mother, Renee Trice, confirmed to TMZ that he succumbed to a heart attack early Wednesday at his residence in Maryland. This was after he had endured three other heart attacks over the past three years.

Myers first graced the screen as a young Will in a 1992 episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. That same year, he portrayed Marlon Jackson in the ABC miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream, which featured stars like Angela Bassett, Vanessa Williams, and Billy Dee Williams.

The last time Myers appeared on television was in a 2000 episode of The WB’s brief teen drama Young Americans.

Beyond his acting career, Myers helped establish the Fellaship Men’s Group, a nonprofit dedicated to men’s mental health. The organization honored Myers with a heartfelt tribute.

“RIP to our dear brother @rocwonder, one of our founding members. You will always be remembered,” they posted on Instagram. “We will continue the mission in your memory. The next men’s meeting will be memorable, just as we planned! Rest in peace, brother. Your big bro will carry on the legacy.”
