Jim Ward, the prolific voice actor who became a familiar voice to a generation of animation fans through his work on Nickelodeon shows like The Fairly OddParents, has died.

The sad news came from his former co-host on The Stephanie Miller Show. “One of the saddest messages I have ever received from the amazing Mrs Jim Ward: Our wonderful ‘voice deity’ as Steph anointed Jim Ward, passed away today at 10:45 am,” Miller wrote on X Wednesday afternoon.

Ward co-hosted the progressive radio talk show with Miller for 13 years, leaving in 2017. In 2021, he contracted a severe case of COVID-19 after being hospitalized for a mild cognitive memory issue, according to IGN. The illness left him paralyzed for four months, and he was later reportedly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Ward was 66.
