His brother, Jonathan Carroll, confirmed his brother’s passing in a post on Facebook. “To all who have expressed condolences on the passing of Reggie Carroll, your love has been well received — thank you!!!” he wrote in part.
Fellow Baltimore native Mo’Nique took to social media to pay tribute to Carroll.
“This is why I say treat people the best you can because you never know if you’ll get a chance to see them again,” Mo’Nique said via Instagram. “I have no sad tears because all of our times together was amazing.”
Earlier this year, Carroll toured with Katt Williams on his “Heaven on Earth” Tour.
