The news was confirmed by Casey's Kasem's agent, Don Pitts, who added that a memorial service will be held Friday. Casey Kasem was 82 and had been hospitalized in Washington state for two weeks. "Early this Father's Day morning, our dad Casey Kasem passed away surrounded by family and friends," Kasem's children -- Kerri, Mike and Julie -- wrote in a statement released by Kasem's representative, Danny Deraney. "Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken ... The world will miss Casey Kasem, an incredible talent and humanitarian; we will miss our Dad." Kasem's longtime friend, Gonzalo Venecia, and his younger brother, Mouner Kasem, were also with him when he died at St. Anthony's Hospital in Gig Harbor, Washington, at 3:25 a.m. Sunday, a family member said. Casey Kasem had been suffering from Lewy body disease, the most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's. He had recently been the subject of a bitter court battle involving three of his children by a previous marriage and his wife, Jean. His oldest children, who challenged their stepmother for control of Kasem's medical decisions in his last months, are not fighting his wife for possession of his remains, a family member told CNN Sunday. Daughter Julie Kasem will host a memorial celebration at her Northridge, Caifornia, home n Saturday, June 21, the family member said. No other funeral arrangements were yet known. No autopsy is expected since Kasem died under a doctor's care in a hospital. The immediate cause of death was from sepsis caused by an ulcerated bedsore, the family member said. The world has lost another legend. RIP Casey Kasem.

Even though he was biggest as a voice actor in the mid-60s through 1980s, he was still a huge part of my childhood. RIP Cliffjumper/Teletran I and Shaggy.

It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms. But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit. game - gun = gay game + gun = -gay game + gun + Arem = ??? Founder of #TeamArem
