George Lowe, the beloved voice actor best known for his iconic role in the long-running cult favorite Space Ghost Coast to Coast on Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, died Sunday at the age of 67, his representative confirmed Tuesday.

A statement from Lowe’s family is expected soon. No cause of death was provided, though his close friend and radio host "Marvelous Marvin" Boone shared on social media that Lowe passed away following “a long illness.”

“I’m beyond devastated,” Boone wrote on Facebook. “My Zobanian brother and best friend for over 40 years, George Lowe, has passed away after a long illness. A part of me has also died. He was a supremely talented artist and voice actor. A true warm-hearted genius. Funniest man on Earth. I’ve stolen jokes from him for decades. He stole some of mine. He was also the voice of Space Ghost and so much more.”

Tributes poured in from across the entertainment world. Casper Kelly, writer, producer, and director of Adult Swim’s Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell, remembered Lowe on X, writing, “Wonderfully kind and funny man. Brilliant improviser. Art collector. Raconteur. Space Ghost was genius and helped usher in a new wave of oddball TV.”

Voice actor Billy West also honored Lowe, saying Tuesday on X, “He was mighty and one of the best of the best VOs ever. Very generous of spirit and very kind… and funny, funny, funny. He will be missed.”

“My heart is broken,” added Tim Frasier, an executive producer at iHeartRadio’s Premiere Networks, on Facebook. “George Lowe was one of the funniest people I’ve ever known and one of the nicest people to ever exist. You will be missed more than you know, my friend. RIP.”
