“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” the actor’s family previously told Fox News Digital in a statement. “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 statement continued. “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.”

Cloud rose to fame for his breakout role in the HBO series, “Euphoria.” He starred as Fezco – a high school dropout and drug dealer – on the series, which premiered in 2019.

“It does bother me when people are like, ‘It must be so easy. You get to go in and be yourself.’ I’m like, ‘Why don’t you go and do that?’ It’s not that simple. I brought a lot to the character,” he said, referring to portraying Fezco. “You can believe what you want. It ain’t got nothing to do with me.”

The “Euphoria” casting director said Cloud does not “get enough credit” for the work he put into his role.

“People think, ‘Oh, he just shows up. He’s just this lazy stoner.’ Angus doesn’t get enough credit,” Jennifer Venditti told Variety.

I’d like to remember him that way. “
