Larry Myers Jr., better known as Mr. Buttermilk Biscuits from the hit TLC show My 600-lb Life, has died. He was 49.

According to his family, he passed away from a heart attack, per The Sun. His cousin, Todd Darell, also posted a statement on Facebook.

“It’s with great sorrow that we announce the passing of my dear cousin Larry Myers,” he shared. “Larry has fought the good fight. He has overcome some of the biggest challenges he has ever had to face.”

He continued, “Rest well Junior, you will be missed. Thanks and blessings to all. Please keep our family in your prayers.”

Myers — who earned the nickname Mr. Buttermilk Biscuits after going viral for singing about the tasty treat at a chicken restaurant — appeared on Season 10, Episode 13 of My 600-lb LIfe. The episode, which was titled “Larry’s Journey,” aired in January 2022.

“For Larry, a second surgery means a second chance as a gospel singer,” the description read.

When Myers came on the show, he weighed 940 pounds. His situation was unique as he had already undergone a weight loss procedure once before. However, when he gained an additional 400 pounds five years after his surgery, he decided to seek help from Dr. Younan Nowzaradan.

“I eat to comfort myself. When I’m cooking, it’s the only time I’m happy, besides when I’m eating,” he said on the show, per Distractify. “So it’s the time that I like to sing, and I sing gospel. Because the rest of the time, when I’m not eating, most of my thoughts are morbidly depressing.”

In the GoFundMe organized by a family member, Myers is remembered for using his “musical talents to bless others” since he was 10 years old.

“From a small storefront church in his hometown to the big stage of the Apollo theater, Larry always made himself available to sing at special events anytime anyone asked, most of the time free of charge,” they wrote. “His struggle with weight gain/loss never dimmed his drive to show love and kindness to all he met.”

RIP, Larry Myers Jr.
