BROADWAY star Quentin Oliver Lee has died at the age of 34 after battling cancer.
Lee was known for his title role in The Phantom of the Opera.
He passed away on Thursday with stage 4 colon cancer, reports FOX13.
His wife, Angie Lee Graham, confirmed his death on his Instagram.
“I saw his last breaths, held his hand tight, and felt his heartbeat slowly drift away,” Graham, who witnessed his death, wrote.
She added: “He had a smile on his face, and was surrounded by those he loves. It was peaceful, and perfect.”
Graham shared some kind words about who Lee was on and off the stage.
“He was an incredible man, husband, father, son, brother, friend, singer, actor, and disciple of Christ with great faith in his Father in Heaven,” she wrote in the tribute.
“To say ‘he will be dearly missed’ doesn’t reflect the scope of the people and communities he has created and touched.”
Alongside the tribute, Graham posted photos of Lee holding their daughter Samantha.
Graham reassured everyone on social media that her and her daughter will be supported by their families and their faith.
Lee announced that he was diagnosed with colon cancer in June – a discovery that was made at in late May.
The Phantom of the Opera also paid tribute to their star on their Instagram.
“The Phantom family is saddened to hear of the passing of Quentin Oliver Lee,” the Broadway show wrote.
“Quentin brilliantly (led) our North American tour in 2018. Our hearts are with Quentin’s family and friends.”
Lee started his role on the Broadway show in December 2017.
