in memory of Anthony Dileo jr.
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Anthony DiLeo Jr., who portrayed Miguel in George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead. Anthony passed away due to complications from COVID.
His Day of the Dead co-star Lori Cardille shared, “Tim was filled with love for nature, his beloved animals, family and friends, and fans. He made me laugh every day while making Day of the Dead. Tim was an accomplished pianist with a beautiful voice. I will miss you, Tim. My heart is broken. I love you, friend.”
Our thoughts are with Anthony’s loved ones, fellow cast members, and all who cherished him. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
Rest in peace, Anthony.
