The filmmaker's death came one week after he suffered a stroke.
Jon Schnepp's fiance, Holly Payne, confirmed that the filmmaker died at age 51 on Thursday, one week after suffering a stoke.
"It is with a broken heart the Schnepp family and I must announce the passing of our beloved Jon Schnepp, who died peacefully on July 19, 2018," Payne wrote on Twitter. "Jon ultimately succumbed to the effects of a massive stroke."
She elaborated, "He had a blood clot removed from his left carotid artery, but the bleeding could not be stopped. Irreparable and catastrophic damage was caused to both hemispheres and all brain activity ceased. His sister Deborah and I had to make the difficult decision to take him off of life support. There was no possible way for him to recover."
