The Blue Bloods family has faced several heartbreaking losses over the years.
The long-running CBS series, which aired from 2010 to 2024, followed the Reagan family — deeply rooted in law enforcement in New York City. At the center was Commissioner Frank Reagan, played by Tom Selleck, alongside his father Henry (Len Cariou) and his children Erin (Bridget Moynahan), Danny (Donnie Wahlberg), and Jamie (Will Estes).
Following the show’s conclusion, CBS introduced the spinoff Boston Blue, which follows Danny Reagan as he joins the Boston Police Department. There, he partners with Detective Lena, played by Sonequa Martin-Green.
Over the years, the cast and crew have mourned the loss of several colleagues. Episodes often ended with tribute cards honoring those who had passed, including executive producer Leonard Goldberg and actor Treat Williams.
In March 2026, it was reported that actor Alex Duong passed away after battling a rare form of cancer. He was known for his role as gang leader Sonny Le. A fundraiser message shared by loved ones expressed deep gratitude for the support received, while also noting the growing financial needs of his family following his passing. Plans for a “Celebration of Life” are expected to be announced.
Another loss remembered by fans is Nick Cordero, the Broadway star who died at 41 in July 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. He portrayed Victor Lugo on the show between 2017 and 2018.
Executive producer Leonard Goldberg also passed away in 2019 at the age of 85 following injuries from a fall.
These losses have left a lasting impact on the Blue Bloods community, reminding fans of the strong bonds formed both on and off screen.
