COVID-19 has taken yet another life. At 41 years old, Broadway actor Nick Cordero has passed away from a very long battle with the virus. His last breaths were taken at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on July 5.

Cordero was diagnosed with the virus over three months ago and has been very sick ever since. In addition, he endured quite a bit of complications, including being in a medically induced coma and even having to amputate his right leg.

Cordero and his wife, Amanda Kloot, both knew he may not win the battle when he was put on a ventilator. “He said, ‘I love you, they have decided to put me on a ventilator with a breathing tube and I’m gonna go unconscious and I don’t know when I’ll wake up, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to talk to you again,’ ” Kloots had said.

Kloots has been regularly giving updates to fans on his health via Instagram. She also sadly had to announce his death.

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, everyday. ⠀ 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. ❤️

“God has another angel in heaven now,” she poted. “My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.”

Cordero and Kloots have a 1-year-old son named Elvis which Kloots now has to raise by herself.

“I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere,” she said. “My heart is broken as I cannot imagine our lives without him.”
