Nicholas “Duffy” Fudge, a cast member on National Geographic Channel’s Wicked Tuna, has died. He was 28.

According to his obituary on the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home website, Fudge “passed away unexpectedly” on Thursday, July 19.

In honor of the late National Geographic Channel star, the show had a moment of silence on Twitter during Sunday evening’s episode.

“As a memorial for Duffy, we will be having a moment of silence on our Twitter during tonight’s episode,” the series tweeted. “Rest In Peace.”

“His passions were fishing and the outdoors. As a child, Nick began tuna fishing with his father and grandfather,” his obituary reads.

“After becoming one of the top sport fishermen in the country, he earned a place on the National Geographic reality show Wicked Tuna for multiple seasons,” Duffy’s obituary continues. “Nick also treasured the environment and he took seriously his responsibility to protect it.”

Fudge would have turned 29 on Aug. 1.
