She added: ‘We don’t know how we’ll go on without him, but we’re thankful for the memories we do have that will stay with us forever. 

‘We appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone. 

‘This is a tragic and sudden loss and we ask that you please respect our privacy during this time of grieving.’

Moore had started in comedy at the age of 19, when he wrote and produced The Trevor Moore Show, a weekly sketch program for a local TV station in Charlottesville, Virginia.

He moved to New York in 1999 and worked as an intern for Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels.

He then got a place on NBC’s coveted development Page Program, where he met his future wife.

In 2004 he was a founding member of The Whitest Kids U Know comedy group, with Zach Cregger, Sam Brown, Timmy Williams, and Darren Trumeter. Their self-titled sketch series for IFC ran for five seasons.

‘He was our best friend, and we speak for all of us in saying that the loss of Trevor is unimaginable. 

‘We are heartbroken and our grief pales in comparison to the loss felt by his wife and son.

‘Our hope is that friends, fellow artists, and fans that loved him will not focus on his death, but will remember the countless moments of laughter he gave them.’
