The Terminal List actor Cedric Jones has died “suddenly,” aged 46, with the cause of death reportedly being withheld out of respect for his family and loved ones.
His wife and three children are “in shock” according to a Daily Mail report.
Jones — an actor and personal trainer best known for his role in the 2023 thriller series The Terminal List alongside his friend Chris Pratt — died on October 16, his company Beastie Boxing confirmed on Instagram.
“Cedric was a loving father, devoted husband, caring son, brother, community leader, and incredible friend who inspired others,” the gym wrote on October 20.
“He genuinely wanted everyone to become the best version of themselves. He was a gift.”
Jones, aka “Beastie,” rose from being homeless in Compton, California, to eventually take the role of a security guard in The Terminal List as well as alongside Pratt in the 2016 film The Magnificent Seven.
At the time of The Terminal List being released, Jones wrote on his Instagram: “I had the pleasure of working with @prattprattpratt on a couple of times.
“He has been down to earth every time and always showed his faith. He actually stopped filming to pray for my wife and kids while on set because of an accident. #real #actor #faith #star #terminallist #dreamchaser.”
Cedric’s final Instagram post, shared last month, sought to inspire those trying to better themselves.
“Get focused! Stop strolling and worrying about what people are saying.
“People will talk-dont listen, people will point – don’t look their way, people will write about you-don’t give them your time.”
