'The Office' stars mourn Hugh Dane, who played Hank the security guard

Hugh Dane, who The Office fans will remember as Hank, the lovable security guard, died at age 75, Variety reported on Monday.

Though Dane passed away on May 19, an upcoming June 9 service in the actor's honor has prompted former co-stars from The Office – including Rainn Wilson, Mindy Kaling, Angela Kinsey, Kate Flannery, Andy Buckley, and Steve Carell – to post to Twitter in his memory.

"RIP Hugh Dane, aka Hank the security guard. He was one of the greats. So kind, funny, talented. We will all miss him," Wilson tweeted, linking to the Los Angeles Inner City Cultural Center, where donations can be made in Dane's name.

Wilson also included a scene he shared with Dane in which Hank unofficially inducts Wilson's character Dwight Schrute into the role of "Official Security Manager of the Branch."

Other Office stars chimed in with kind words about their time working with Dane.

Dane appeared on more than 20 episodes of The Office, and was known by fans for his short, but hilarious cameos.

Dane's character Hank did all of the dirty work around the titular office, like escorting employees out of the building — who could forget that scene in "Goodbye, Toby"? — and coming to rescue the Dunder Mifflin crew when they locked themselves in the parking lot. (Only to get there and find they'd already been let out by the cleaning crew.) 

While Dane will always be a beloved member of The Office cast, he appeared other hit shows throughout his career, including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Boy Meets World, Roc, Friends, Sister, Sister, Hart of Dixie, and more.

He also has credits in popular films like Bridesmaids and Little Fockers.
