"i'm absolutely heartbroken. kev was my first friend on set. we instantly connected over being jews from chicago," she continued. "i'm so sorry to his beautiful mom allison, his siblings nicole and cary, and to everyone who experienced his friendship and loving heart. i miss him so much. i am so grateful that my fellow cast mates, including jables, have been able to support each other through this day. we are a strong, loving family. love you forever, spaz."

Kevin was struck by a Hyundai Sonata at 1.20 A.M. on Wednesday when he was riding his bicycle in the Chicago neighborhood of Avondale.

TMZ claimed a 20-year-old woman who was driving the car was not arrested, but she was issued several citations.

"School of Rock" was Kevin's only film credit. He scored a role in the movie at the age 12 because he could actually play the drums. His mother Allison Clark told the Sun-Times that his most recent project was the band Jess Bess and the Intentions, which had its first show over the past weekend on the North Shore.

"He told his bandmates just yesterday, 'You know, this is finally the life I want to live. And we're going to make it,' " Allison quoted his son as saying. " 'You're my musical family - my family - and we're all going to make it.' "
