Aron Eisenberg<\/strong>, best-known to Star Trek fans for his role of Nog the Ferengi on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,<\/em> has died at the age of fifty.<\/p>\n

“It is with extreme regret and sadness to announce that my love and best friend, Aron Eisenberg, passed away earlier today,” said his wife Malissa Longo<\/strong>, via Twitter<\/em>. “He was an intelligent, humble, funny, emphatic soul. He sought to live his life with integrity and truth.<\/p>\n

“He was so driven to put the best he had into whatever work was put before him. He lived his life with such vigor and passion.”<\/p>\n

The pair had married quietly late last year. “We didn’t officially announce that we had eloped on December 28th, 2018,” said Longo. “We were hoping to have a big shindig in celebration of our nuptials, but had to wait to save up the money.<\/p>\n

“While, our marriage, on paper, was a short one. Our hearts had been married for far longer. I will be forever thankful for the time we had to love each other.”<\/p>\n

Some of those who had worked with Eisenberg on Deep Space Nine<\/em> took to social media to express their condolences. “I have lost a great friend and the world has lost a great heart @AronEisenberg<\/em>,” said Armin Shimerman<\/strong>, who played his uncle on the show. “He was a man of conviction and enormous sensitivity and the best of humanity. Kitty and I grieve for Aron, his boys, and Malissa. Flights of angels my friend…you will be missed. There are no words…”<\/p>\n

“Remembering you with love, Aron,” said Chase Masterson<\/strong>, who played the Bajoran Leeta, married to Nog’s father Rom.<\/p>\n

“My friend, my pal, Aron Eisenberg, has left us,” said Jeffrey Combs<\/strong>. “Over the years it was always, always a joy to be in his company, to work with him, to play with him, to laugh with him. I admired his courage as he dealt with his lifelong health issues. He was a man filled with passion and love.”<\/p>\n

“Dear Aaron, I will miss our playful spirited bantering and I will miss our deep conversations,” said Terry Farrell<\/strong>, DS9’s Dax. “I will miss your kind and loving self, thank you for our friendship. RIP.”<\/p>\n

A fundraiser at GofundMe<\/em> created for funeral and other costs has already hit $20,000. It is currently closed, but if that changes, TrekToday<\/em> will update this article with the link.<\/p>\n
