“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” said David Shaul, Jordan’s agent. “Not only was he a tremendous talent and a pleasure to work with, but he also provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of his most difficult times,” he said in a statement to Variety.

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