Actor Meshach Taylor has died of cancer
at the age of 67.
Taylor, who is best known for playing
lovable Anthony Bouvier on the CBS hit sitcom Designing Women,
passed away late Saturday at his home in Los Angeles, his agent told
People.
Taylor's family responded in a Facebook
post.
“It is with love and gratitude that
we sorrowfully announce that our darling, amazingly brilliant and
dynamic Meshach, the incredible father, husband, son and friend has
begun his grand transition,” the family wrote.
“Our friends who know and love us,
please offer your prayers for his peace and blazing light as he
ascends to the heavens. Those who need to call the family please do.
Those who desire to post memories, we are open and graciously
accepting all gestures of peace. Love, the Taylor family.”
Taylor is survived by his wife, Bianca
Ferguson, and four children.
