Hudson Meek, the child actor who had roles in "Baby Driver" and "90 Minutes in Heaven," died December 21 after falling from a moving car two days earlier.
The fall took place in Vestavia Hills, Alabama, and caused blunt-force trauma injuries.
Meek was taken to the hospital after the incident but after treatment for his injuries, he was declared dead two days later.
The exact circumstances of the fall and the events that led up to it were not shared publicly by the family or law enforcement.
Meeks's online obituary described him as a devout Christian, sports fan and avid scuba diver.
He enjoyed the outdoors and played water sports often, and he loved spending time with his friends.
Besides "Baby Driver" and "90 Minutes in Heaven," Meek had television credits in "MacGuyver," "Found," and "Legacies."
He also did voice-overs for McDonald's and Toys-R-Us during the course of his career.
He was in the cast of "The School Duel," an upcoming movie that has already won the Canal+ 50th anniversary prize at the Deauville Film Festival in France this year.
He was “surrounded by friends, family, and the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” his obituary read.
“Please pray for our family and friends as we all process this sudden and tragic loss,” his mother Lani Wells Meek said.
“Our hearts are broken to share that Hudson Meek went home to be with Jesus tonight,” she wrote on Facebook. “His 16 years on this earth were far too short, but he accomplished so much and significantly impacted everyone he met.”
A celebration of Meek's life is planned for December 28, but details about the event were not given.
A scholarship is being set up in his name at the high school he attended.
