Sad News: Beloved Former Child Actor Passes Away at 42

Former child actor Floyd Roger Myers Jr. has died at the age of 42, his family confirmed. His mother, Renee Trice, told TMZ that Myers was found dead at his home in Maryland early Wednesday morning, Oct. 29, after suffering a heart attack. She shared that he had struggled with ongoing health issues and had experienced three previous heart attacks in recent years.

Myers was best known for playing a young version of Will in a 1992 episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. That same year, he portrayed a young Marlon Jackson in the acclaimed miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream, which starred Angela Bassett and other notable actors. In 2000, he appeared as a student in an episode of Young Americans before stepping away from acting.

After leaving Hollywood, Myers built a successful duct-cleaning business in the Washington, D.C., area and frequently shared his work on social media. He also co-founded The Fellaship Men’s Group, a community focused on empowering men to lead and heal. The group announced his passing in a heartfelt post honoring his legacy and commitment.

Myers is survived by his four children: Taelyn, Kinsley, Tyler, and Knox. His sister, Tyree Trice, has launched a GoFundMe to support his family, describing him as a devoted father, loving brother, and a source of warmth and joy to everyone he met.
