Dave Creek, the lead character designer on "Bob’s Burgers", died over the weekend in a skydiving accident, a spokesman for the Fox show confirmed. He was 42.

"Today we tragically lost our Lead Character designer and friend, Dave Creek," Simon Chong, a director on the animated Fox series tweeted late Thursday. "A wonderfully brilliant and talented man who I can guarantee designed your favorite character on Bob’s at some point. I’ll miss you, buddy x."
