Trevor Moore, the comedian best known for co-founding the cult sketch comedy group The Whitest Kids U Know, died Friday night at age 41.
“He was known as a writer and comedian to millions, and yet to us he was simply the center of our whole world,” family says.
His manager confirmed the comedian’s death to Variety in a statement on behalf of Moore’s family. A cause of death was not immediately available.
Moore began his career in the late 1990s as host of The Trevor Moore Show, a public-access show in Charlottesville, Virginia.
A former intern at Saturday Night Live, Moore co-founded the sketch group while still a student at NYU with friends Sam Brown, Zach Cregger, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter.
We don’t know how we’ll go on without him, but we’re thankful for the memories we do have that will stay with us forever. We appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone.
We are heartbroken and our grief pales in comparison to the loss felt by his wife and son. On behalf of WKUK, we ask for privacy during our time of profound grief, and strength for his family who are dealing with the impossible thought of living life without him.
“He was our best friend, and we speak for all of us in saying that the loss of Trevor is unimaginable.
