We received so many beautiful messages from people who knew Dex. These touched us more than we could ever express in words.
I will be taking a break from work and social media--trying to figure out what life looks like now that we are a family of 3. We will heal the best we can and carry on. Our darling Dex would have wanted it that way.
Much Love, Dana.

Folks everywhere offered their love and support.










According to TMZ, first responders found Dex unresponsive in a locked bathroom at his Los Angeles home after authorities received a call from his girlfriend.

Following in his father's footsteps, Dex pursued a career as a stand-up comedian, even opening for Dana Carvey in the SNL star's 2016 Netflix special "Straight White Male."
