Former Disney star Tiffany Thornton is struggling to come to terms with the death of her late husband, Chris Carney.

Chris passed away when the car he was travelling in swayed off U.S. Highway 70 East and crashed into a tree in Hot Springs, Arkansas, according to local station KTHV.

 

My life. My love. My angel.

The 35-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, along with his friend, Ezekiel Blanton, who was driving at the time. 

Tiffany's heartfelt tribute to her husband on Instagram was followed with a picture of the pair on their wedding day. 

 

There are so many things I want you to know about Chris but most importantly you must know how earnestly he pursued the Lord, especially in the past year. No one is perfect in this world and we all have our battles but it's the way we get back on our feet and turn it around that really counts. And he did it. He was so on fire for God and I know he flew straight into the arms of Jesus, his best friend. Please if you're reading this know that Chris would want you to know the Lord. Don't wait to run back to God. Our days are numbered and God is just waiting for you to come back to him. There is so much power in the redemption God gives us and I am so grateful that Chris and I got to fall in love all over again this past year. He was on such an amazing path for the Kingdom, having just gone on a mission trip to Peru with his dad where he shared his beautiful testimony and brought so many people to the Lord. He finished writing, directing, producing and editing his first Christian film and he and I got to star in it together as love interests who end up getting married. He was THE BEST father my children could ever have, an incredibly loving and sensitive husband, a wonderful brother and amazing son. He is already so dearly missed but I promise to spend the rest of my life sharing his testimony so that those who feel they have no place or have come from a place of struggle can learn that the love of the Lord can save us all. We will have a service in remembrance of him Monday, December 7th at 3pm and First Church of the Nazarene here in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Visitation will begin at 1:30pm. Thank you for your continued prayers for our family as we grieve the loss of my best friend Chris, the most incredible person I've ever had the blessing of knowing.

Tiffany's co-star and long-time BFF, Demi Lovato also shared an emotional message on social media.

The 23-year-old, who was Tiffany's bridesmaid, wrote: "Been trying to figure out what to say all day… This morning I woke up to terrible news. My good friend Chris Carney has passed away. 

"This picture is a perfect example of the love he shared with Tiff and how much fun he was to be around. I've been to many weddings but this is by far the most memorable because the way they looked into each other's eyes and the love they had for one another. 

"There were tons of laughs and tons of tears and I'll never forget the way he looked at her."
