Artist Erich Anderson has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 67 years old.

Saxon Trainor’s wife gave her fans an emotional update on social media. She is married to the actor who plays Felicity.

Erich played Felicity’s dad in the comedy with the same name. He has also played scary characters like Rob Dier in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.

The star hadn’t been in the spotlight in years because he was sick. His most recent movie was the 2020 short film Those Who Wait.

Saxon wrote on Instagram that she knew the sad news.

“My husband Erich died this morning,” she wrote.

“I am sharing my brother-in-law Michael O’Malley’s words as I am too bereft now to write anything.”

It was Michael who added his thoughts to Saxon’s post.

“My brother in law Erich Anderson passed this morning after a brutal struggle with cancer,” he told me.

Michael then named a number of Erich’s accomplishments that spanned his long and successful career.

“He was on that old show 30 something; he was Felicity’s father on ‘Felicity;’ he was killed in a basement in a Friday the 13th movie,” Michael said.

FAMILY MAN
He also said that Erich had a part in Star Trek and then talked more about his personal life.

“He wrote three great books that you can find on Amazon. He was smart, funny, and a great cook.”

“I’ll miss him, but his trouble is over,” the post ended.

There were a lot of sad comments from fans of the star for Saxon and her family.

LOVE FROM FANS
“Erich was a great actor, and I’m sure he was a great person too. He was always so beautiful in his roles. “I’m sorry for your loss,” a follower wrote.

“Thank you for your kind words and a big hug,” said someone else.

“Sorry for your loss, Saxon,” said a third person with a bunch of heart faces.

The thought of you, Saxon, during this time. “Love you,” said Brad Schmidt, who played Yellowstone and House of Lies.

At the end of Saxon’s post, there was a real photo of Erich smiling at the camera from what looked like his home in Los Angeles.

TRIBUTES TO A FRIEND
When Eve Gordon heard the news, she went on Instagram to post a touching tribute. Gordon played Erich’s wife on the TV show Felicity.

“My beautiful friend, Erich Anderson, has said goodbye,” she said.

She shared an old picture of herself and Erich from when they were filming Felicity with the show’s lead actress, Kerri Russell.

“He was a wonderful part of the world.” I loved him. There was no one else like him, I wish you had known him.

She went on, “So funny, so open to whatever the day brought him, so wickedly cynical and joyful at the same time.”

He was smart, funny, and a great cook. He also wrote three great books.

After their characters got divorced on the show, they spent less time together, but Eve said they stayed close.

“We would talk for hours.” “He was really smart,” she said.

“Erich, look at this, I’m using the past tense.” I hope to see you again in dreams and other worlds, friend. “Fly high, buddy.”
