Survivor’s Keith Nale Dead at 62 (Exclusive)

Two-time ‘Survivor’ contestant Keith Nale has died. He was 62 years old. Keith's son, Wes, tells ET that he died Tuesday afternoon. Wes says, 'He'd been battling cancer for the past few months and we found out about it in January.' Keith's brother, Kevin Nale, also tells ET, 'A life taken way too soon!' Keith participated in two seasons of 'Survivor.' First, in 2014 for 'Survivor: San Juan del Sur' with Wes. Then, again in 2015, after the public voted for him to have a second shot in 'Survivor: Cambodia.'

My prayers are with his family and friends. What a tremendous loss. May his memory be a blessing.

[@tomasinacovell4293]

He was a MAGA swine anyway!

[@shadowwriter4538]

RIP Keith. You were a survivor player that we never knew we needed and were happy to have.

[@TheDXJC56]

RIP Keith, it was truly inspiring seeing how unbelievably well he could hang in the challenges against some of the best the game has seen at the age he played at, gave me a very new perspective on just how long you can maintain competitiveness if you've got the burning desire to compete that I never would have been lucky enough to fully grasp otherwise, I only wish we could've seen him play when he was 10 or 20 years younger just to see how much of an absolute beast he would have been closer to his prime, my condolences to Wes, Big D and the rest of the Nale family

[@tucker824]

Keith was one of my favorites. Such an amazing personality and he seemed like a great person. May he rest in peace. Truly going to miss him.

[@GamingFanactic911]

He was a bright light on the show. Full of life and just a wholesome personality. I hope the show honors him in memoriam or at the very least Jeff Probst talks about him on his podcast

[@hotmilkbandlyrics]

Sending love and prayers to the family. We loved Keith! Stick with the plan! 🕊🙏🏻😻

[@zanelemofikoe2374]

Keith was such a fun and lovable Survivor contestant on both of his seasons, he was such a great person and had the biggest heart. Thoughts and prayers to his family.❤🙏

[@gabefister5166]

So sad! I really can't think of anyone from his seasons that stand out other than the winner of course and him. He had such a great personality that I think the show lacks lately. RIP Keith
