Actor and comedian Jerry Van Dyke, who won four Emmy nominations for his role in the US sitcom 'Coach' is dead at 86.
According to media report, he had died at his Arkansas ranch on Friday.
The actor's health had been waning since a 2015 traffic accident.
Van Dyke was the younger brother of actor Dick Van Dyke, known for the musical films 'Mary Poppins' and 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.
The Van Dyke brothers were close throughout their careers.
In 2015, Jerry and Dick reunited on screen on ABC's sitcom "The Middle," playing a pair of fighting brothers. Jerry told the Los Angeles Times that he always looked up to his older brother.
Speaking in the same interview, Dick Van Dyke described seeing his brother's stand-up act for the first time.
"I didn't realize how good he was," Dick said. "The main thing about Jerry is that he's funny from the inside out."
