Tommy Ford -- who famously played Tommy on the '90s sitcom "Martin" -- has died following complications from a knee surgery ... his friend Anthony Anderson confirmed.
"Thank you all for your prayers but we lost #TommyFord this morning. May ? rest his soul and comfort his family," Anderson tweeted.
52-year-old Ford slipped into a state of unconsciousness Wednesday in an Atlanta hospital after going in for a post-op checkup from a recent knee replacement surgery.
He'd been rehabbing as of late ... according to his social media.
Tommy starred in all 5 seasons of "Martin" as the title character's level-headed best friend, who often played a straight man to Martin's crazy antics.
He also appeared on "New York Undercover," "The Jamie Foxx Show" and "The Parkers."
Ford also wrote children's books that promoted drug-free and violence-free lifestyles.
R.I.P.

Sad ? . Won't be alot of hoopla surrounding this seeing as he wasn't a "superstar", but this one stings for me. Martin is an all-time favorite of mine (In my top 2 along with Seinfeld). Own all the seasons.
At this point it's cliche to say, but 2016 is a ruthless son of ? . -
