“As the World Turns” alum Scott Bryce has died at the age of 68.
“A wonderful actor, a beautiful man and a terrific husband and father, Scott Bryce, passed tonight,” the actor’s pal Lucie Arnaz wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post on Sunday, per journalist Michael Fairman.
“I am going to miss his eyes, his smile, his wit, his brain, his intelligence, his talent, his bravery, his laugh and his hugs,” the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz continued.
Lucie, 74, also penned a special message to Bryce’s wife, Jodi Stevens, whom he wed in 2003, and their son Jackson, adding, “He’s watching over you now from a place of pure joy and will always be your guide.”
“But I hate these goodbyes. Rest in peace you marvelous, magnificent man,” the “Jazz Singer” actress continued.
Ahead of his death, Bryce battled Stage 3 esophageal and stomach cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2025.
After undergoing treatment, the actor shared that he was “on the mend.”
Additionally, Lucie revealed in her heartbreaking announcement that his cancer had returned, according to Fairman.
A rep for Bryce wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment. Arnaz did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
