Quentin Oliver Lee dead: Broadway actor and opera singer dies aged 34 from colon cancer

She continued: "He had a smile on his face, and was surrounded by those he loves. It was peaceful, and perfect.

"He was an incredible man, husband, father, son, brother, friend, singer, actor, and disciple of Christ with great faith in his Father in Heaven.

"To say 'he will be dearly missed' doesn't reflect the scope of the people and communities he has created and touched. If we let him, he made us better people."

The couple share a young daughter named Samantha. Continuing her statement, Angie said that they had been "supported and lifted by our families and our own faith".

Hundreds took to the comments to pay their respects after hearing the sad news.

The Phantom of the Opera star Derrick Davis wrote: "Oh my heart [breaks]. Praying continued peace and the embrace of heaven over all of the family."

Social media stars, The Jurgys, added: "He was a kind and positive man who spread light wherever he was. I'm so sorry for your loss Ang. We love you."

And Aladdin castmember Michael Maliakel echoed: "What a gift to have known you and watched up close as you shared your immense talents with the world. Peace to you and your beautiful family, my tall friend."

Quentin announced he was battling stage four colon cancer in a GoFundMe page last June.

In it, he wrote: "I'm a father, husband, teacher, Broadway and Metropolitan Opera performer and soon to be cancer survivor.

"It is definitely difficult to make money performing while also going through chemo, surgeries and dealing with these messy cancer symptoms that may drag on for who knows how long."

He added that any money raised through donations would help "pay medical bills, keep the lights on and keep food on the table" while he focused on beating his cancer.
