It’s with a heavy heart that I report Jahmil French, best known for his role as Dave Turner on “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” has passed away at 29.
A rep for the actor confirmed his passing to Page Six with the following statement:

He will be remembered by many for his passion for the arts, his commitment to his craft, and his vibrant personality. I ask that you keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
