28 Family Matters Actors Who Have Passed Away

28 Family Matters Actors Who Have Passed Away
Family Matters is an American television sitcom that debuted on ABC on September 22, 1989, and ended on May 9, 1997. However it moved to CBS, where it was shown from September 19, 1997, to July 17, 1998. A spin-off of Perfect Strangers, the series revolves around the Winslow family, a middle class black family living in Chicago, Illinois. Midway through the first season, the show introduced the Winslows' nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel (Jaleel White), who was originally scripted to appear as a one-time character. However, he quickly became the show's breakout character (and eventually the main character), joining the main cast.

Reginald Vel Johnson was in Die Hard and Die Hard 2. The actor is alive.

[@lisabullock9665]

He was just in Dancing With The stars.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Proves my point! 😃 Dancing 💃 will keep him alive longer: underrated as a physical activity.

[@MelB868]

Yeah he's alive

One of my favorite tv show when i was a kid. I still love watching the re runs even i am already in the 60. Love it so much and it brings back good memories. Sad a lot of the cast has passed away. Please enjoy life every minute...we don't know when our time will come....

[@JIHAN249]

This video had such great potential! The pacing could be improved a bit in the middle section to keep viewers hooked. I'm a video editor and I specialize in text animation, sound design, creating smooth transitions, adding engaging cuts. If you're ever looking for some editing help, I'd love to chat!

[@mandyholmberg5106]

To all of the families and friends and fans I am really! So very sorry for your losses 😢💔

[@Alley-ue8xl]

Is it my imagination, but this show was only 30 years ago, and we lost so many amazing people. 😢 The numbers are staggering

[@markellzey1531]

30 years is a long time. Humans average living to about 75 years old.

[@Stephanie-s1x]

The television show called family matters it has the cast including Reginald Val Johnson Jo-marie Payton Kellie Shanygne-Williams Darius McCrary Shawn Harrison Thelma Hopkins and Jaleel White. They are incredible talented actors with a great sense of humor and great success in television.

[@DarkHeart515]

@donneishawright2172 I never said it was all a lie. If you going to lie on your thumbnail though about a person being dead when they not just to get views, then why should anyone take this video seriously at all?

[@danoia4]

​@@DarkHeart515 I agree with you

[@kingoffarts8352]

What about steves bully andre? In one episode called a perfect match it was revealed that he had luckemia. Steve did a bone merrow drive for him and saved his life. He also played on moesha I think. He died in a car accident. Lamont Bentley.

[@mikeburnette2190]

I think I really got attached to Myra, Mother Winslow, and Lt. Murtagh. Murtagh because he was easily the most developed of Carl's superiors, and he and Steve had a interesting chemistry.

[@leerodriguez2002]

You forgot Jason David Frank

[@brianminus6114]

And Jason david frank was guest star also

[@MelB868]

Change the thumbnail Carl from family matters did not die. The one that played Carl's mom did she was old and the one that played Myra did in 1998 she was 30 and had stomach cancer I was 18 when she died

It's clear that Die Hard and Family Matters are in the same universe.
