‘Dynasty’ and ‘All My Children’ star Michael Nader has passed away at the age of 76 only ten days after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
His grieving wife, Jodi Lister, shared the heartbreaking news in a Facebook post, revealing that the actor died at their North Carolina home on Monday.
“It grieves me to share the sad news that my husband, Michael Nader, passed away at home on August 23rd,” she wrote.
“He was diagnosed with untreatable cancer on Friday the 13th and died 10 days later with me and his best fur friend Storm by his side,” Jodie continued.
“His death and diagnosis was sudden and unexpected and I have never experienced such agony as watching my soul mate die before my eyes.
“He was loved by so many and treasured his fans and their letters and emails. He responded to them all. He was working on a book about his life and addiction before he passed. He had so many talents and skills and it’s hard to imagine living life without his beautiful and wonderful presence, joy and laughter.”
Lister, who tied the knot with Nader in 2014 after spending more than ten years together, also shared another statement with MichaelFairmanTV.com.
“With heavy heart, I’m sharing the news of the passing of my beloved, Michael,” she said. “We had 18 wonderful years together with the many dogs we fostered and adopted.
“Recently, Michael was so thrilled to reconnect with his friends from the cast of Dynasty during Emma Samms’ virtual event to help raise funds for long-COVID research.
“He was a beautiful and fascinating man with many talents and skills. I will miss him forever.”
One person commented: “He was impossibly handsome! I am so sorry to hear about his passing. May he rest in eternal peace. My condolences to his wife, family, friends, and loved ones.”
Another wrote: “Loved him on Dynasty… condolences to his wife and family….”
A third added: “My wife thought he was a hunk and they were good scenes with him and Joan. He was a fine star of the small screen in those years when we actually watched series on BBC television. RIP”
