Heartland star Robert Cormier has passed away at the age of 33, his family revealed.
The young man, who was remembered by his family as an “athlete, actor, and a great brother,” was best known for playing Finn Cotter in the Canadian drama Heartland.
The tragic news was announced by the actor’s family in a touching obituary that didn’t specify any details related to Robert’s cause of death.
“He had a passion for helping others and was always looking to achieve more. He enjoyed movie nights with his family, and looked up greatly to his father. He impacted many people throughout his life whether it was family, teammates and friends,” the obituary read.
