Fans of a beloved MTV series are in mourning.
Sarah Becker, who starred in the fifth season of The Real World, died by suicide earlier this month, her family confirmed to TMZ June 23. She was 52.
A family member informed the outlet that Sarah, who had been living in Illinois to take care of loved ones, died early last week after struggling with her mental health in recent months. Despite her personal battle, the former reality star's loved ones maintain that she uplifted the spirits of those around her.
"Sarah Becker was made of pure sunshine," friend Daniel Norton wrote on Facebook June 23. "Full of energy and positivity, you couldn't help but feel her warmth standing in her presence. I am grateful for our adventures and laughs."
He concluded with a nod to Sarah's old comic book job, "Big hugs to all the Wildstorm fam!"
When Sarah was featured in the Miami season of the Real World series, she worked in comic books, enjoyed skateboarding and notably brought a puppy back to the group's residence.
The then-25-year-old, who hailed from La Jolla, Calif., starred alongside castmates including Dan Renzi, Melissa Padrón, Joe Patane, Mike Lambert, Flora Alekseyeun, Cynthia Roberts. Many of the former cast members took to social media to mourn when her death came to light.
"RIP Roomy," Cynthia wrote in a June 23 Instagram Story, alongside a photo of Sarah. "I pray there's happiness for you on the other side."
Flora later noted that while they had not spoken to Sarah since their 1996 season aired, she has many fond memories of her.
"She was the most selfless person I knew," Flora wrote on Instagram June 23. "She was always kind and helpful to everyone. I haven't spoken to her in years and never knew she was troubled. My prayers go out to her family."
