Brooke McCarter: a great actor, and a great man. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten..

Rest in peace, Brooke. At least you are reunited with Corey Ian Haim (December 23, 1971 — March 10, 2010), whom you saw as a brother (and vice versa).

According to a statement by Brooke’s family when they broke the news to People magazine on Tuesday:

“Brooke McCarter died from liver failure at his Tampa, Florida home, after having been hospitalized earlier this year, discovered to have a rare genetic liver disorder, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT). He passed this morning, surrounded by close family and friends, including his daughter Kaitlin McCarter, age 12. He will be remembered as a talented actor and musician. He was beloved son, brother, father, uncle, cousin, nephew and friend. His family appreciates the thoughts and prayers from family, friends and fans during this very sad and difficult time.”
