Tom Jackson, one of the most well-known previous contestants on the makeover program, passed away at the age of 63.
When Netflix revived the show in 2018, Jackson was the first person the “fab five” transformed.
With a “heavy heart,” the Queer Eye cast members announced they were saying goodbye to a “part of the family” in a tribute.
According to the obituary published by his funeral home, Jackson had been identified as having gland cancer that had metastatic adenocarcinoma.
Tan France, the show’s fashion expert, said: “Such absolutely awful news.”
Jonathan Van Ness, a grooming specialist, wrote on Facebook: “RIP Tom,” and Bobby, an interior designer, stated he was “drinking a Redneck Margarita” in Tom’s honor.
The obituary stated that Jackson considered his debut on Queer Eye to be a “highlight of his life” and that he lived in Georgia in the United States.
