"Today I write this with a broken heart," Gad wrote as he later penned a heartfelt tribute to Marco, by sharing a series of photos of his late nephew on Instagram.
He added, "Our beloved nephew Marco has left us far too early. At 20 years old, he was full of [possibility] and promise. To say he is gone far too soon does not do justice to the life force that he was."
Josh Gad then requested all his loyal supporters to send their positive energy to help him and his family in this tragic time. "As his parents try to work this impossible pain, I am asking for all of you to send positive energy and love their way," he said
Gad continued, "He fought to make the world a better place, stood on the side of justice and light, and stood up for those who needed it most. His life may be gone, but I hope and pray his memory will endure. He was truly a brilliant, creative, and loving soul. Help me honor him now and celebrate a life that was only just beginning."
Earlier this Friday, Gad wrote on Twitter that his family is going through an immense loss as he tries to balance his heartbreak that was caused by a decision of the Supreme Court to overturn 1973's Roe v Wade and the constitutional right to abortion.
They want us to be apathetic. We can’t. They want us to crumble. We don’t. They want us to concede more rights and freedoms. We won’t. Grieve today. Fight tomorrow. I will be right there with you.
