"He sought to live his life with integrity and truth. He was so driven to put the best he had into whatever work was put before him."

The actor's cause of death wasn't released, but he underwent his second kidney transplant in 2015, StarTrek.com notes in an obituary.
Eisenberg played Nog, the first Ferengi to join Starfleet, and appeared in 40 episodes from across all seven seasons. The show ran from 1993 to 1999. His character was the son of Rom, the nephew of Quark, and the best friend of Jake Sisko, who was the son of commanding officer Benjamin Sisko.
Eisenberg was told nothing about his character when he was cast and had no idea that the part would last, Star Trek reports
Quote
"I thought every episode I was doing might be my last episode,"
he told StarTrek.com in 2012. The site also notes that Eisenberg also played Kar, the young Kazon-Ogla, in a 1995 Star Trek: Voyager episode.
Friends and fans remembered Eisenberg on social media.

"He was a man of conviction and enormous sensitivity and the best of humanity."
