Edwin Aguilar, who spent more than two decades serving as an animator and assistant director on The Simpsons, has died. He was 46.

Aguilar died Saturday in a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a stroke, according to a recent post on a GoFundMe page that had been set up to help his family with medical expenses.

On Twitter, Simpsons producer Matt Selman called Aguilar "a talented artist and beloved fountain of love and inspiration to all."

Born in El Salvador, Aguilar immigrated to the U.S. with one of his brothers in 1982 to join other family members in Los Angeles, and he studied illustration at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena.
