Dexter Scott King, the youngest son of Martin Luther King Jr., died Monday from prostate cancer, according to The King Center. He was 62 years old.

"He transitioned peacefully in his sleep at home with me in Malibu," Leah Weber King, his wife of 11 years, said in a statement. "He gave it everything and battled this terrible disease until the end. As with all the challenges in his life, he faced this hurdle with bravery and might."

The 62-year-old served as the chairman of The Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, known as The King Center. "The sudden shock is devastating. It is hard to have the right words at a moment like this. We ask for your prayers at this time for the entire King family," his brother Martin Luther King III said in a statement.

Dexter King's sister Bernice, who is the CEO of The King Center, said: "Words cannot express the heart break I feel from losing another sibling. I'm praying for strength to get through this very difficult time."
