Records show he leaves behind his parents, Rodney and Donna, and three siblings.
According to American Salon, he also leaves behind his partner, Tonya, and an infant son.
Nation, who was born in Louisiana, died just weeks after he worked on his first Super Bowl commercial, which featured Schitt’s Creek and Beetlejuice star Catherine O’Hara.
The stylist was renowned for his modern designs and worked with the likes of Demi Moore, Victoria Beckham and George Clooney during the course of his career.
He last posted on Instagram last week, and showed off Marissa Bode’s curly locks.
TRIBUTES POUR IN
The comments underneath the post have been flooded with tributes.
“Rest in power, brother, the world lost one of its brightest lights,” TikToker Divinity Ray said.
“You were never too busy to be thoughtful.
“You were never too big to smile at everyone. You were the most incomprehensible artist.”
Fellow stylist Joel Torres posted several broken heart emojis.
Kelli Berglund, who starred in the Disney XD series Lab Rats, posted a heartbreaking tribute online.
“I still don’t want to believe this is reality,” she said.
“You were the best of the best – not just in your talent, but in your soul.
“My heart is so heavy knowing the world lost a genuinely incredible one… and while it feels like such an unfair move from the universe, I’m so grateful it puts us in each others orbits.”
Last week, Nation shared footage of the Super Bowl commercial starring O’Hara.
“What an absolute blast to work on,” he said.
He thanked the actress for giving him the opportunity to be part of the “epic” ad.
Nation had previously appeared in magazines such as British Vogue and Cosmopolitan.
He’s also starred in campaigns for brands such as Louis Vuitton, American Eagle, and Skims.
The U.S. Sun has approached Nation’s agent for comment.
