As a lifestyle expert with a background in both acting and health advocacy, I am deeply saddened by the passing of Drake Hogestyn. Having spent a significant part of my career in the entertainment industry, I have come to appreciate the profound impact that actors like Drake have on their fans and fellow colleagues.
More information has come to light following the death of actor Drake Hogestyn.
It has been confirmed that the actor who played a role in “Days of Our Lives” passed away on September 28, just shy of his 71st birthday. The specific reason for his demise has now been disclosed.
The actor who became famous for his role on the soap opera, having appeared in over 4,000 episodes since 1986 on NBC, passed away due to pancreatic cancer and other complications such as vomiting, dehydration, and general toxicity throughout his body. This information was obtained from a death certificate by People.
On the very day of Drake’s demise, his kin publicly announced the sad news through their @DaysOfOurLives_X account, expressing their sorrow with heartfelt heaviness.
His family shared that a sudden, life-altering pitch – being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer – came his way, but he demonstrated extraordinary resilience and perseverance in dealing with it. In the end, after an inspiring battle, he passed away serenely, enveloped by the warmth of his loved ones.
Additionally, the statement commended Drake on his role as a loving family member and dedicated work partner to his friends at Days of Our Lives.
His family declared that he was an extraordinary husband, father, grandfather, and performer. He cherished entertaining the ‘Days’ audience and collaborating with the finest cast, crew, and production team in the industry. We adore him and we will sorely miss him every single day of our lives.
As a devoted admirer, I too remember my longtime co-star, Alison Sweeney, fondly. She once described the late actor as an “extraordinary individual,” a sentiment that beautifully encapsulates my own feelings about him.
In a September 28 Instagram post, she expressed that he was humorous, kind-hearted, and considerate. He took great care in every detail, from each scene to every individual. His affection for ‘Days’ and its fans was evident, and he generously shared this love with everyone on set. My heart aches for his family, who held immense importance in his life. He was an integral part of my ‘Days’ experience. I will deeply mourn him and cherish every memory, every laugh, and every embrace.
