Days after Dana Carvey’s oldest son, Dex, died of an alleged drug overdose, the comedian took to social media to thank friends, fans and those who knew Dex for “so many beautiful messages.”
He continued, “My wife and I have been overwhelmed by your love, your personal stories, your compassion.”
He then announced: “I will be taking a break from work and social media to find out what life is like now that we are a family of three.” We will heal and move on as best we can. Our dear Dex would have wanted it that way.”
Carvey signed, “Lots of love, Dana.”
