Angus Cloud, who played Fezoco, the dealer with a heart of gold on Euphoria, passed away at the age of 25 on Monday. Today, a stream of tributes and remembrances are rolling in from the cast and crew of the series.

Cloud’s family released a statement Monday announcing Cloud’s death: “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways. Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.”

“There was no one quite like Angus. He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon,” said Euphoria creator Sam Levinson in a statement obtained by Deadline. “He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression. I hope he knew how many hearts he touched. I loved him. I always will. Rest in peace and God Bless his family.”

A cause of death has not yet been determined, though Cloud “was determined to be already deceased” when first responders from the Oakland Fire Department were dispatched on Monday for a medical emergency, according to CNN.

Below are the tributes for Cloud from Euphoria cast members, producers, and guest stars.

I’d like to remember him that way. For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment.
