Lorenzo Brino, a child star from the television series 7th Heaven, has died after being involved in a fatal car accident earlier this week. He was 21.

According to the San Bernardino County coroner, the young actor, who played Sam Camden in the hit show, was killed after he lost control of his Toyota Camry and struck a pole. Lorenzo was the only occupant of the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Though the accident occurred Monday in San Bernardino County, Lorenzo’s name hadn’t been originally announced until now.

Lorenzo’s aunt, Janet Brino, told TMZ of his passing: “To my dear sweet nephew, your loss left a hole in my heart. God needed another Angel and he took you. Please watch over your mom and dad. You sister Mimi, brothers, Antonio, Zachary and Nicholas … You got a big job up there.”

His sister Mimi posted a special tribute to her brother.

To my amazing and crazy brother. You might be gone but it’s true when people say “gone but never forgotten”. Saying that you were a blessing is an understatement. You brought light to so many lives and you did so much with the too short of a life that you had. I had the privilege of growing up side by side with you for an absolutely wild 21 years. Believe me when I say that you drove me so insane at times, but you were also a part of some of my most cherished memories. I am so so happy to know that I was beyond loved by you and that I forever have a guardian angel by my side. Rest In Peace Lorenzo, I love you now and I’ll love you forever.

He is survived by his parents, Tony and Shawna Brino, brother Antonio, and his quadruplet siblings: Nikolas, Zachary and Myrinda.

Rest in peace, Lorenzo.
