Taylor’s father, Ronald Cauchi, passed away after battling stage IV cancer, with Taylor recently telling The Daily Dish that his father was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer around October.
“It’s rough, because my dad, he’s like my idol,” he said. “My dad was always the person who never got sick, I always looked up to him. … It’s hurt our family. It’s hurt everybody. It just really sucks. During the holidays, it doesn’t make it any easier.”
After Taylor shared the news of his father’s death, several of his co-stars reached out with messages of support.
“Let’s flood @mrjaxtaylor with love and compassion. So sorry for your loss my friend,” Tom Schwartz tweeted, while Peter Madrigal wrote, “I’m so sorry brother.”
