DS12 had a very close friend move away and he is really finding it difficult to make new friends as the class is very settled at this point. We live in a small community so there aren't many options and no neighbors nearby.
He's very sad about it and I wish I could help. I can love and commiserate with him but I actually can't create friends for him.
Advice/suggestions?

Is there an extra-curricular class he can join to meet new friends?

Nope, not in our small community.
Either way, he's unlikely to gain any new friends through it as there is only one school and he already knows everyone his age.

My son, also 12, has been with the same kids since pre1a mostly and just recently decided he wants more of a social life. A few weeks ago he decided to walk over to a kid in his class, that hes known for years but not really close with, Shabbos afternoon and knock on his door. He was super nervous but it worked out great in the end. The other boy was happy to see him. So maybe your son can think of one boy who he gets along with but isnt super close with to try and become a little closer to.

I've been encouraging that and he has casual friends that he can go to on a Shabbos afternoon but it hasn't transferred into the school setting (which is where he feels most lonely).
