\u201cWe are heartbroken at the tragic loss of our beloved Eduardo Xol,\u201d said the reality star\u2019s loved ones in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs his family, we know that his kindness has touched the lives of so many. We ask for that kindness returned now allowing our privacy to be respected as we process our grief.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made in Eduardo\u2019s name to the Lupus Foundation of America as he spent so much of his life in the service of others.\u201d<\/p>\nEduardo Xol poses here for an ABC promotional photo. (ABC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nXol was best known for his work on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which saw him join the cast in the reality program\u2019s second season as a designer; he ended up on over 60 episodes. <\/p>\n
The late 58-year old also appeared in a number of telenovelas early on in his career, including \u201cAcapulco, cuerpo y alma,\u201d \u201cSentimientos Ajenos\u201d and \u201cLa Jaula de Oro.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police, meanwhile, allege Gonzales actually called the cops on the morning of the stabbing to say he had been assaulted the previous evening. <\/p>\n
After following up, authorities claim they determined Gonzales was at the scene of the stabbing and was \u201clikely the suspect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xol and Gonzales were \u201cassociates,\u201d police allege, although it is not clear at this time the nature of their relationship.<\/p>\nMay reality star Eduardo Xol rest in peace. (Bob D\u2019Amico\/Disney General Entertainment)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFollowing Xol\u2019s passing, his friend Richard P\u00e9rez-Feria took to social media to share a moving tribute. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nearly incomprehensible that I\u2019m writing this post as a goodbye to someone who has been so present, so important in my life,\u201d wrote P\u00e9rez-Feria. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I first learned that Eduardo Xol had passed, I went numb. It was impossible to process that information as it didn\u2019t square with my thousands of experiences with him. Please don\u2019t ask me how or why at this point\u2026what matters most is who he was: A talented, beautiful, passionate friend, brother, son, and partner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe millions of laughs, hopes and secrets we shared remain at the fore of my thoughts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to honor my dear friend and celebrate his life as one that mattered to so many. He certainly mattered to me. Sending healing love at this horrific time to his circle of friends and family who loved him so. <\/p>\n
\u201cSadly, tomorrow isn\u2019t promised. Love each other. Rest in peace, Eduardo.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
