Following the sudden death of Floyd Roger Myers Jr, his family has confirmed that they intend to keep his legacy alive in honor of the former actor. They will do this by ensuring the business he proudly set up and managed continues into the future.
Myers’ Family To Ensure Legacy Lives On
Myers, who was best known for his role as young Will in “Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air” and also had minor roles in “The Jacksons: An American Dream” and “Young Americans,” set up his own air duct cleaning business after leaving the entertainment business.
His mother, Renee Trice, told TMZ that his surviving family intend to keep the business operating to honor the impact Myers made. This is especially thoughtful given that Myers considered the company his greatest accomplishment outside of family,” according to his mother.
Renee also revealed how her son left the world of acting at the age of 19 and subsequently attended the Atlanta-based Clark University on a full golf scholarship. After graduating, he spent 10 years working in a company manufacturing appliances before then founding his own air duct cleaning business — which will now be led by his ex-wife and children.
Myers Leaves Behind Men’s Charity
Myers passed away on October 29 at the age of 42. His family confirmed he had suffered from a heart attack at his home in Maryland, having had three other heart attacks in recent years. He has also spoken openly in the past about his health issues.
Although his acting career was short lived, with Myers making his debut as an actor as young Will Smith in a 1992 episode of “Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air,” he has seemingly made a lasting impact in other areas of his life.
Myers was a co-founder of The Fellaship Mens Group, a “movement rooted in brotherhood, wellness, and purpose,” that aims to “address the often-overlooked emotional and mental health challenges that men face.”
Posting on Instagram, the group announced that it would continue its mission and paid tribute to Myers for everything he had done.
“RIP to our good brother and one of our co founders,” the statement reads. “Gone but never will be forgotten. The mission will continue in your honor. Next mens meeting will be one for the books like we talked about!”
