Actor and musician Jackson Odell passed away at the age of 20 on Sunday, according to TMZ.
Odell had appeared on a number of TV and film projects since his childhood, including Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer and TV’s The Goldbergs, in which he played Ari, and also enjoyed writing credits on several film soundtracks, including the recent romantic drama Forever My Girl.
He was reportedly found unresponsive at a clean living facility, with no foul play expected, and his family confirmed the news in a statement which reads: “The Odell family has lost our beloved son and brother, Jackson Odell. He will always be a shining light and a brilliant, loving and talented soul. He had so much more to share. Our family will always carry that truth forward. Our wish is that the rest of the world does as well. We are now going to try to make sense of our immeasurable loss privately.”

Fans reacted to the loss on social media.
No!! Jackson Odell was so insanely talented. Not just for random shows & movies, but for his music. Followed him on YT for yrs & made sure to include him in an article I did at my 1st internship yrs ago. Then went to see #ForeverMyGirl opening night to support his songwriting😢😭 https://t.co/XH2Wp7QRgx

Oh my goodness…. Jackson Odell, who co-wrote “Enough,” the song that @PhillipSweet sang with @Lauren_Alaina on the Forever Your Girl soundtrack passed away. So sad. 🙁
