Eric Bauza made sure his family would be looked after.

The voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety along with Porky Pig left behind a sizable estate, according to reports. His brother Edgar Alan Bauza has gone to court asking to be named executor.

The petition says Eric had a will that picks Edgar for the job. It lists about $700,000 in personal property. Another $848,000 sits in real estate equity. Together that tops $1.5 million. It is not known if any private trusts hold more.

Who inherits

Eric died on Oct. 25, 2026. He was 46.

The filing names his son Ryker as a beneficiary. Also listed are Ryker's mother Jessica, Eric's father Egardo, his mother Elvria along with his niece Kyra.

A friend set up a GoFundMe for Jessica after his death. It has pulled in more than $51,000 toward a $75,000 target.

The fundraiser says the money will cover "ongoing household bills, everyday living expenses, travel expenses to Toronto to see Eric and Jessica's families" plus other surprise costs.

Cause of death

The Los Angeles Medical Examiner found that Eric died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease. Sleep apnea and obesity were listed as contributing factors. The death was ruled natural.

A giant in animation

Eric voiced a long list of "Looney Tunes" stars. Fans also heard him as Elmer Fudd as well as Road Runner. Marvin the Martian was one of his roles too.

He earned more than 400 acting credits over his career. His voice roles won him three Emmys on the children's side of the awards.
