Kevin Clark, known for portraying Freddy “Spaz” Jones in the 2003 movie School of Rock, tragically died at the age of 32 after a fatal cycling accident. Upon learning of his passing, his former co-stars expressed their sorrow and paid tribute to him on social media.
Jack Black shared on Instagram, “Devastating news. Kevin is gone. Way too soon. Beautiful soul. So many great memories. Heartbroken. Sending love to his family and the whole School of Rock community,” accompanied by photos with Clark.
Miranda Cosgrove expressed her shock and sadness, saying, “The world lost an amazing soul. I’ll always remember your spirit and how kind you were to me. I’ll never forget all the memories. You’ll always be missed Kevin.”
Rivkah Reyes tweeted, “Love you forever, spaz. I will never forget your hugs and your laugh and the sheer joy on your face when we’d run into each other in Chicago. Thank you for always showing up for me with that ‘big brother I never had’ energy.”
Brian Falduto reflected on the loss, “I can’t believe we lost a member of the family today. I’ve developed such a love & gratitude over the years for the once-in-a-lifetime experience that School of Rock was.”
He continued, “So much of [the movie’s] impact has to do with the once-in-a-lifetime combination of people that was part of that experience. Those same people remain very much a part of my life to this day. We will miss you, Kevin. Thank you for finally forgiving me (in 2016) for making you wear spandex & heels. So, so much love to you, you wickedly talented & wonderfully kind man.”
Kevin Clark will be dearly missed by many.
