“His remarkable legacy as a son, brother, uncle, friend, extraordinarily gifted actor and producer, consummate cook, and man with the most infectious and spectacular laugh, will live on forever. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.”

On Sunday, Shanna Moakler, a model who was previously married to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, paid tribute to Freeman, who she called a “dear friend.”

“Heartbroken to hear of the loss of my dear friend Heath Freeman, talented actor, director, producer, outstanding chef and a solid friend,” Moakler wrote. “You will be so dearly missed and I will cherish every amazing memory we all had.... and we have a lot of great ones!! Godspeed.”

On Instagram, Freeman’s “Terror on the Prairie” co-star Gina Carano remembered Freeman as “protective, gentle, and brave.”

“This is hard to write. I was just giving you a big wrap party hug a week ago,” Carano wrote. “I wanted to keep you for a lifetime and now I am going to carry you for a lifetime in my heart. I didn’t know our journey would be cut this short and my heart is shattering. I wanted so much more time to laugh, cry, create, live, love with your friendship.”
