"The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan," his agent David Shaul shared in a statement following his sudden passing.

"What he lacked in height he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner and human being," kindly added Shaul. "Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today."
