His 32-year-old son Dex Carvey died on Nov. 15 due to an accidental drug overdose, the comedian shared on Instagram.

The couple—who also share son Thomas Carvey, 30—continued in their tribute, "It's not exaggeration to say that Dex loved life. And when you were with him, you loved life too. He made everything fun. But most of all, he loved his family, his friends and his girlfriend, Kaylee."
After noting they'll miss their son "forever," the pair ended by saying that others struggling with addiction are in their "hearts and prayers."
In response to media coverage of the tragedy, Dana shared a photo of his eldest son in a separate post, writing, "F--k the tabloids. This is my boy."
Paula, who tied the knot with the actor in 1983, commented, "Our beautiful boy," to which the Saturday Night Live alum responded with a heart.
