Sandra announced Bryan had passed away last August. His ALS diagnosis hadn’t been publicly revealed at the time, with the actress explaining he wanted to keep his health crisis private.

“It is with great sadness that we share that on August 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS,” his family confirmed in a statement. “Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request.”

"We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours,” it continued.

The statement also asked the public to respect their privacy during the difficult time. "At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan," it concluded.
