Dana Carvey and Wife Paula Also Paid Tribute to Their Late Son

Earlier this week, Dana Carvey and his wife Paula paid tribute to their late son via a statement released on Dana’s X account.

The statement read, “Last night we suffered a terrible tragedy. Our beloved son, Dex, died of an accidental drug overdose. He was 32 years old. Dex packed a lot into those 32 years. He was extremely talented at so many things–music, art, filmmaking; comedy–and pursued all of them passionately.”

The Carveys added, “It’s not an exaggeration to say that Dex loved life. And when you were with him, you loved life too. He made everything fun. But most of all, he loved his family; his friends, and his girlfriend, Kaylee.”

Dex followed his father’s path and became a stand-up comedian. He also appeared in the 2015 film Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser and the 2013 series The Funster, alongside Dana. TMZ reported that on Wednesday, Dex was found unresponsive in a bathroom in his Los Angeles home. His girlfriend was the person who phoned the first responders.
