Jerry Van Dyke has passed
Jerry Van Dyke -- the famed younger brother of Dick Van Dyke -- has died ... TMZ has learned.
Jerry's wife, Shirley, tells us ... he died Friday afternoon at their Arkansas ranch with her by his side. She says they were involved in a car accident over 2 years ago ... and Jerry's health had deteriorated since.
We're told Dick visited them at the ranch over the Christmas holiday.
A beloved comedian just like his brother, Jerry pursued stand-up as a young man and performed at military bases around the world. He made his acting debut on "The Dick Van Dyke" show and followed that up with appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" before becoming a regular on "The Judy Garland Show."

Former New Jersey governor and member of the state's Hall of Fame Brendan Byrne died Thursday at the age of 93.
In addition to serving as governor from 1974 to 1982, Byrne served as deputy Attorney General, Essex County prosecutor and a Superior Court Judge.
Born in West Orange, he served in World War II and graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Law School. He was the father of seven children.
"On a personal note, Mary Pat and I express our deepest condolences to his wife Ruthie and his entire family," Gov. Chris Christie stated. "I considered Governor Byrne a mentor and a friend. My life is richer for having known him as I am sure are the lives of every person who had the privilege to meet him."
Incoming Gov. Phil Murphy said New Jersey lost "one of its most beloved and distinguishable favorite sons."
