Carvey, star of “Wayne’s World” and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, and Zwagerman described their son as a “beautiful person” and someone who “loved life.”

“And when you were with him, you loved life too,” the statement said. The couple said they treasured their handmade birthday cards. “He made everything fun. But most of all, he loved his family; “His friends and his girlfriend, Kaylee…We will miss him forever.”

The couple ended their statement by acknowledging others who are “struggling with addiction or who love someone who is struggling with addiction.”

Both of Carvey’s sons followed in his footsteps and pursued careers in comedy, starting with stand-up. Dex most recently collaborated with his father and his brother on the podcast series “The strange place”, which was released with Conan O’Brien’s company, Team Coco.
