Scores of stars from Hollywood and Broadway paid tribute to Tony-nominated actor Nick Cordero on Sunday night following confirmation by his family that he had died from complications due to coronavirus.
Throughout his stay in the hospital, he underwent a leg amputation, was given a temporary pacemaker and was put into a medically induced coma. He spent more than 90 days in the intensive care unit and suffered from additional complications, like lung infections and septic shock.
Rest In Peace dear Nick.

Zach Braff who starred opposite Cordero shared: “I have honestly never known a kinder person.
But Covid doesn’t care about the purity of your soul or the goodness in your heart.
I feel so incredibly grateful I got to have Nick Cordero enter my life.”.

It doesn’t care how healthy you are.
It doesn’t care if you want to go to Fire Island.
It doesn’t care if you are tired of wearing a mask.
Love and strength to his beautiful family.
Peace, love and strength.
Love and strength to his beautiful family.
Peace, love and strength.

Ariana Grande’s half-brother Frankie James Grande, who appeared in “Rock of Ages,” shared a photo with Cordero and wrote: “My heart is broken over the loss of my friend Nick Cordero.
as soon as I met him I knew God placed him in my life for a reason… He showed me such love, leadership through kindness, strength during difficult times, a true appreciation of life no matter what was happening around him… he made me smile and laugh when I was down and was magical to share the stage with.
Onstage, backstage, offstage Nick Cordero was one of the finest people I have ever had the chance to meet, work with or just call a friend.
He will live on in his beautiful wife @amandakloots and his beautiful son Elvis.

I watched you do it Nick in your own life and I vow to you my friend to continue to do it in my life in your name.
I love you Nick.
