Floyd Roger Myers Jr., the former child actor known for his early-1990s TV appearances, has died at the age of 42. His mother, Renee Trice, told TMZ that he passed away at his home in Maryland in the early hours of Wednesday, October 29 2025, due to a heart attack.
She also revealed that Myers had suffered three previous heart attacks over the past three years, and she had spoken to him just hours before his death.
He worked as an actor
Myers first gained recognition as a child actor. In 1992, he portrayed the younger version of the character played by Will Smith in an episode of the hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel‑Air.
That same year, he also appeared as the young Marlon Jackson in the television miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream, which traced the rise of the Jackson family.
His last acting credit was in the 2000 series Young Americans, after which he stepped away from mainstream acting.
Outside of acting, Myers became co-founder of the men’s mentoring group The Fellaship Men’s Group, which aimed to empower men to “lead, heal & thrive”.
Myers is survived by his four children: Taelyn, Kinsley, Tyler, and Knox. His sister, Tyree Trice, helping the family through the aftermath, has described him as a “devoted father, loving brother and friend whose kindness, laughter and warmth touched everyone he met.”
A fundraising page has been opened to help cover funeral expenses and support his children.
