Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy first mate Gilligan on the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 70.

Denver died Friday at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina of complications from treatment he was receiving for cancer, his agent, Mike Eisenstadt, told The Associated Press. Denver's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight."

Denver had also undergone quadruple heart bypass surgery earlier this year.

Denver's wife, Dreama, and his children Patrick, Megan, Emily and Colin were with him when he died.

2. Gilligan ruled!

Now I wish I had some money to buy some weed and watch TVLand in his honor.

8. I'm surprised the other six didn't waste him way back when...

He was constantly fouling up every effort to get off the island; if they made him sleep with the fishes, they'd have been off the island in a month...

So long, little buddy...
