Cordero, who was a married father of one, was admitted to the hospital on 30 March after contracting Coronavirus. After 95 days in the hospital, he succumbed to the disease.
Before his death, Cordero had suffered Coronavirus complications including mini-strokes, blood clots, sepsis infections, a tracheostomy, and a temporary pacemaker implant.
His right leg was also amputated while he struggled to overcome the virus. His wife, Amanda Kloots, announced his death on Instagram, writing:
“God has another angel in heaven now. My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.
“I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere. My heart is broken as I cannot imagine our lives without him. Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help, and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband. Elvis and I will miss him in everything we do, every day.
“To Nicks extraordinary doctor, Dr. David Ng, you were my positive doctor! There are not many doctors like you. Kind, smart, compassionate, assertive, and always eager to listen to my crazy ideas or call yet another doctor for me for a second opinion. You’re a diamond in the rough.
“I cannot begin to thank everyone enough for the outpour of love, support, and help we’ve received these last 95 days. You have no idea how much you lifted my spirits at 3pm everyday as the world sang Nicks song, Live Your Life. We sang it to him today, holding his hands. As I sang the last line to him, “they’ll give you hell but don’t you light them kill your light not without a fight. Live your life,” I smiled because he definitely put up a fight. I will love you forever and always my sweet man.”
Nick Cordero received nominations for a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for his role in the hit musical, Bullets Over. He is survived by his wife and his one year old son.
