Tragic news out of The Wendy Williams Show this morning.
According to Fameolous, Wendy Williams's longtime wig stylist Antwon Jackson has died at the age of 44. The news has yet to be confirmed by anyone close to Jackson, but condolences are already flying around the internet. 

Jackson was an Emmy-winning stylist who rose to fame when he started working with Williams and made frequent appearances on her show. 
The North Carolina native just celebrated his 44th birthday on August 7. He's survived by a son, Dontay. Just a few days ago, he took to Instagram to show off the hair looks he designed for Williams's upcoming seventh season. It was his last post before he died:

He was also very close to Williams, as evidenced by so many behind-the-scenes photos and Williams's own shout outs on air. Jackson posted one such moment earlier this year, with the caption "Love my #boss":

Our condolences go out to Antwon's son, his set family and everyone affected by his untimely death.
