AceShowbiz - Tragic news came from Tiffany Thornton's family. Chris Carney, the husband of the former Disney star, passed away after he was involved in a serious car accident Friday morning, December 4 in Arkansas. He was 35.

According to TMZ, Chris and his friend, Ezekiel Blayton, got into a single car crash. They were both pronounced dead on the scene. One of them was reportedly thrown out of the car when it "flew off the road while going around a bend and slammed into a tree." The cause of the accident and who was behind the wheel are still scarce.

Chris Carney, a singer of the band Prom Kings, married Tiffany Thornton in 2011 with her "Sonny with a Chance" co-star Demi Lovato as one of the bridesmaids. They have two young sons. "Sharknado" actress Cassie Scerbo is named godmother of their first kid. Carney's death happened while Thornton mourned the loss of her best friend, Brittany.

I keep thinking this can't be real. One of my very best friends is gone and the place she holds in my heart will never be filled. Brittany was one of the coolest people I've ever known, filled with the loudest and most contagious laughter, a huge heart, a beautiful smile and an unbelievable faith in others that not a lot of people have. It was such a blessing having her stand by me in my wedding and I was honored to stand by her in hers. From way too much eye shadow, bangs, boyfriends we THOUGHT were our soul mates, trips to Destin and Cancun, late nights at the Blanton casa with way too much queso, to growing older, nights of reminiscing, phone calls to help eachother keep our chins up in the tough times, and laughing at how cool we thought we were back in the day....and still eating way too much queso....you will forever be missed. Reserve me a spot next to you in Heaven BB, I know I'll see you there again one day. Love you
