One month after the comedian’s passing, Hayden Panettiere is paying tribute to Donny Davis.
On March 22, the Heroes actress penned a touching message dedicated to Davis, who was known for his appearances on Chelsea Lately and as a performer alongside numerous stars, including Panettiere. Davis was found dead in a Las Vegas hotel room on Feb. 22. He was 43 at the time of his passing. His cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
“You never know how long you have with the people you love,” she captioned a March 22 Instagram photo of the two standing side by side. “My little big brother was there for me through everything. I miss you.”

“Rip @donnydavis1,” Demi captioned an Instagram Story post alongside a broken heart emoji. “Thanks for so many laughs and great memories – rest peacefully angel.”
