Former contestant on Bravo's hit show Millionaire Matchmaker Trevor Jones has tragically died at the age of 34.

A family friend told TMZ that Trevor Jones died on October 9 from a "sudden Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome event."

The reality star’s family confirmed on a GoFundMe page that he passed away October 9 from an "event" related to his Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

The disorder weakens connective tissue and can lead to spontaneous rupture of major blood vessels.

The GoFundMe page describes Jones as: "The type of person that left a footprint in the world without even trying. He was sincere, generous, funny, and always tried to give back.

"Trevor had a gift where he could make anyone smile, laugh, or feel comfortable with just a look or a few words."

Jones is survived by his wife Cherrie and his six-month-old daughter, Finley, whom loved ones described as the parts of his life that "made the greatest impact," per Fox News.

"Trevor loved his two girls more than anything in the world and made it a point to make sure everyone knew, too," friends and family wrote.

In a YouTube video created in his memory, Jones' friend Travis Lubinsky said that his death was "extremely tragic and unexpected."

"I spent the last few days upset and angry. But in this situation, I know Trevor would want us to celebrate his life," Lubinksy added.

Jones appeared on season eight of Millionaire Matchmaker. Patti Stanger, who hosted the show until 2015, told E! News that she was "deeply saddened" by the news of his death.

"Trevor was one of the nicest daters on the show," she told the outlet. "It's hard to remember every single dater from the show but I definitely remember him. He was lovely, handsome, and will be missed."

In the show, he went on a memorable date with The Hills star Stephanie Pratt. However, despite seemingly hitting it off on their date, Jones ended up marrying someone else.

He went on to appear on CNBC’s The Profit, a reality show where businessman Marcus Lemonis offers aspiring entrepreneurs capital in exchange for a stake in their company.
