Star Trek actor René Auberjonois has sadly passed away at the age of 79.

René‘s son Rèmy-Luc revealed that his father died on Sunday (December 8) at his home in Los Angeles after a battle with metastatic lung cancer.

René is best know for playing Odo, the shape-shifting Changeling and head of space-station security on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, from 1993 until 1998 and became a regular at Star Trek conventions.

He also had roles on Benson, M.A.S.H., and Boston Legal.

In addition to his son, René is survived by his wife of 56 years, the former Judith Mihalyi daughter Tessa, and three grandchildren.

René is the third person involved in Star Trek to pass away this week, following the deaths of actor Robert Walker Jr. and writer D.C. Fontana.

Our thoughts are with René‘s loved ones during this difficult time.

Dorothy Catherine Fontana has sadly passed away. She was 80-years-old.

Known professionally as “D.C.,” the writer for the original Star Trek series passed away on Monday (December 2) after fighting a brief illness, according to the official Star Trek website.

“As a writer, Fontana is credited with many episodes focusing on Vulcan culture and helped blaze a trail for female writers in sci-fi television,” the website writes. “She is the mind behind The Original Series and The Animated Series episodes like “Yesteryear” and “Journey to Babel,” which introduced Spock’s father Sarek and mother Amanda. She co-wrote the Hugo Award nominated The Next Generation episode “Encounter at Farpoint” with Gene Rodenberry, and she continued to write for TNG and Deep Space Nine. Her last produced credit was an episode of webseries Star Trek: New Voyages, starring Walter Koenig.”

William Shatner, who portrayed Captain James Kirk in the Star Trek universe, took to Twitter to mourn the death of D.C., calling her a “pioneer.”

“😢 She was a pioneer. Her work will continue to influence for generations to come,” William tweeted.
