Trevor Jones, a former contestant on Bravo’s "Millionaire Matchmaker," has died at 34.

The reality star’s family confirmed on a GoFundMe page that he passed away Oct. 9 from an "event" related to his Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a tissue-weakening disorder that can cause major blood vessels to spontaneously rupture.

Jones is most famous for his turn on Season 8 of the dating show "Millionaire Matchmaker" where he ended up dating "The Hills" star Stephanie Pratt. Ultimately, he went on to marry someone else, the Sun reported.

Along with his TV stints, Jones is the co-founder of Flex Watches, a timepiece company with interchangeable faces on watches with each design supporting a charitable cause.

The host ended up offering $400,000 for a 40% stake in the firm, which Jones and his partner accepted.
