Soap World Reacts To Drake Hogestyn Death: “He Loved Days, The Fans & Shared That Passion With Everyone On Set”


Days of Our Lives star Drake Hogestyn was remembered Saturday by fellow daytime drama actors as an "incredible man" who "cared about every scene."

Hogestyn, who died at the age of 70 from pancreatic cancer, was described as “wonderful and kind man” whose commitment to DOOL was just as important as its fans. He and Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) were one of daytime drama’s super couples that kept fans coming back day after day to DOOL. As his family said Saturday in a statement, “He loved performing for the Days audience and sharing the stage with the greatest cast, crew, and production team in the business.”
