"Roger E. Mosley, my father, your friend, your 'coach Mosley' your 'TC' from Magnum P.I., passed away at 1:17 a.m. He was surrounded by family as he transcended peacefully. We could never mourn such an amazing man. He would HATE any crying done in his name. It is time to celebrate the legacy he left for us all," his daughter wrote.
She continued, "I love you, daddy. You loved me too. My heart is heavy, but I am strong. I will care for mommy, your love of almost 60 years. You raised me well, and she is in good hands. Rest easy."
Mosley died at 83, but the cause of his death has yet to be confirmed by his loved ones. However, it was revealed that a week prior, the veteran actor was involved in a major car accident that left him in a critical state, Parade reported.
The actor was best known for his work on the original CBS crime drama "Magnum, P.I." where he starred as the helicopter pilot Theodore "T.C." Calvin alongside Tom Selleck. He also appeared in films and TV shows, including "You Take The Kids," "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" and "Walker."

Gannon also appeared in the TV series "Tales of Bacon" and the film "Babes with Blades."
As of press time, Gannon's family created a crowd-funding page appealing for help and support so they could bring their son back home to their place in Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The sum has already reached $9,175.
