Gabe Khouth, best known for his role as Sneezy/Tom Clark on ABC’s Once Upon a Time, has died at the age of 46.
Gabe’s close friend and fellow actor Peter Kelamis revealed he passed away last week after suffering a cardiac arrest while riding his motorcycle.
“Gabe ALWAYS put a smile on everyone’s face,” Kelamis tweeted. “My deepest condolences to his Family and friends RIP — You kind, kind soul #Heartbroken #gonetoosoon.”
In a video, Gabe’s brother Sam said he “went out doing what he loved, and he’s at peace now.” He also invited fans to pay tribute at the presumed site of the crash in Vancouver, Canada.
“My brother loved to ride,” he said, choking up. “He loved all of you.”
Once Upon a Time co-creator Adam Horowitz expressed his condolences, remembering Gabe as “a lovely man, a great talent, and an indelible part of [the show] since the beginning. But more importantly, he was our friend. He will be missed.”
Lee Arenberg, who played fellow dwarf Grumpy, tweeted that he was “devastated beyond words,” admitting his TV brother was “sweet and spicy, hilarious and loveable and a pure talent.”
Gabe joined Once Upon a Time in the first season, appearing in a total of 43 episodes over the seven seasons.
His other TV credits include A Series of Unfortunate Events, iZombie, and Supernatural. He also was a voice-over actor with credits including series Beyblade Burst and Fruit Ninja.
Rest in peace.
