Representative Charles Lago said in a statement released on behalf of the family that Sizemore “passed away peacefully in his sleep” at Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, with his two sons and his brother, Paul at his side.
On Monday, Sizemore’s family said doctors informed them there was “no further hope” and recommended “end of life decision” due to the condition of his health.
Paul Sizemore said in the statement,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of my big brother Tom.
He was larger than life. He has influenced my life more than anyone I know. He was talented, loving, giving and could keep you entertained endlessly with his wit and storytelling ability.
I am devastated he is gone and will miss him always.”
