'Days of Our Lives' star Drake Hogestyn dead at 70 - one day before his birthday
Briefly

"It's with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Drake Hogestyn. He was thrown the curve ball of his life when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but he faced the challenge with incredible strength and determination. After putting up an unbelievable fight, he passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones."
"He was the most amazing husband, father, papa, and actor. He loved performing for the Days audience and sharing the stage with the greatest cast, crew, and production team in the business. We love him and we will miss him all the Days of our Lives."
"Those who can keep injury-free and their head together and their weight down, those are the ones who are going to move up. But when you're a last-round pick and you mix in an injury... there's no investment there. And I knew that."
"He played college baseball at the University of South Florida and earned a double major in microbiology and applied sciences. He planned on becoming an oral surgeon but instead was drafted by the Cardinals and then the Yankees."
