Wayne Osmond, one of the original members of the family music group The Osmonds, has died at the age of 73.
The singer, who rose to fame alongside his siblings including Donny, Jimmy and Marie Osmond, died on New Year's Day with his wife and five children by his side.
His brother Merrill shared a post on Facebook, saying: "I've never known a man that had more humility,"
He continued: "A man with absolute no guile. An individual that was quick to forgive and had the ability to show unconditional love to everyone he ever met."
In a statement, the Osmond family said: "His legacy of faith, music, love and laughter have influenced the lives of many people around the world.
"He would want everyone to know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true, that families are forever and that banana splits are the best dessert. We love him and will miss him dearly."
Wayne Osmond was born the fourth of nine siblings on August 28, 1951, in Ogden, Utah.
He started his singing career as a boy in a barbershop quarter with his older brother Alan and younger brothers Merrill and Jay, as reported by The Guardian.
They added: "The group began singing for the family's Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints - colloquially though no longer officially known as Mormons - congregation in 1958."
After being discovered at Disneyland, the foursome gained more exposure on ABC's The Lawrence Welk Show and The Andy Williams Show, adding brothers Donny and Jimmy in the process.
Wayne primarily provided backing vocals and was a well-rounded musician, playing guitar and bagpipe, among other instruments.
Then known as the Osmonds, the group reached the pinnacle of their fame in the 1970s, with the hit single One Bad Apple spending five weeks at No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1971.
Wayne Osmond endured a number of health problems over the years; he underwent surgery for a brain tumour in 1997, had a stroke in 2012 and was treated for cancer.
He is survived by all of his siblings - Virl, Tom, Alan, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie and Jimmy - as well as his wife of over 50 years, Kathlyn, and their five children.
