Jimmy Neutron star Jeff Garcia has breathed his last.

Garcia, known for his Jimmy Neutron character Sheen, is paid a tribute by his son in a heartefelt social media update.

Turning to his Instagram on Wednesday, Dec. 10, Jojo Garcia wrote: “With a very heavy heart, I would like to inform everybody that my father, Jeff Garcia, has passed away."

Jojo added: “My father was a unique soul. He was unapologetically himself and I will always admire the love, compassion, and drive that he had. He taught me so much and gave me advice that I live by every single day. He was a Father, Son, Uncle, Cousin, Brother, but most of all, he was my best friend.”

“I would call him every day,” he continued. “I would tell him about the plans I had in comedy and my life. He believed in me, in a way that nobody else did. The talent my father possessed was truly one of a kind. From voice acting to stand up comedy, he shined with his quick wit, brash humor, and charm. He has made such an impact on people’s lives internationally, whether you grew up watching Jimmy Neutron, or shared a laugh with him at one of his shows. He was my hero… I idolized him.”

Jojo concluded: “He may be gone, but he will NEVER be forgotten. He lives on through our family and friends he loved so dearly, along with the legacy he has created. I know you’re in heaven smiling down and you’re in a better place now. No more pain. I’m going to make you proud pops. Fly high, Rocket Man. LLJG
