She continued, “I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love … ‘they could light up any room they entered’ but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I’d like to remember him that way. For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment.”

Zendaya added that her “heart is with his mother and family,” during this time and asked fans to “please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone.”

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney posted a tribute on Instagram one day after the news of Angus’ death.

“Angus you were an open soul, with the kindest heart, and you filled every room with laughter,” she wrote. “This is the hardest thing ive ever had to post, and im struggling to find all the words. You will be missed more than you know, but I’m so blessed to have known you in this lifetime, and I’m sure everyone who has ever met you feels the same. This heartache is real and I wish we could’ve had one more hug and 711 run. All my love is with you.”

Dominic Fike

Euphoria actor Dominic Fike spoke about the death of his costar during a concert in Texas on August 1, 2023.

“I guess I lost a friend of mine recently. He died the other night, which is wild to say because I don’t deal with grief often,” he said to the audience (via Stereogum). “I haven’t had a lot of death happen around me, and this was the first time I feel like I knew the person well enough to cry over and feel something. It was weird.”

He continued, “I sometimes look at people like sparks. I zoom out, and I think people have wavelengths. If you zoom out far enough, you see some people – probably not a lot of us at all – but I think if you zoomed out millions of miles, you would see this kid’s spark. You could see it from so far away, even if it was a short flash.”

Sam Levinson

“There was no one quite like Angus,” the Euphoria creator wrote in a statement. “He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon … He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression. I hope he knew how many hearts he touched. I loved him. I always will. Rest in peace and God Bless his family.”
