Tributes flooded in for Broadway star Nick Cordero after his death on Sunday at age 41.
Cordero battled complications from COVID-19 for three months, and his wife, fitness trainer Amanda Kloots, regularly shared her husband's health updates with his fans and followers throughout his fight.
The Tony Award nominee had been on a ventilator in a Los Angeles hospital since early April after going to the emergency room for what he thought was pneumonia. While hospitalized, Cordero suffered from multiple infections, sustained lung damage, spent time in a medically induced coma and required a leg amputation, among other health issues.

Friends and performers paid tribute to the "Bullets Over Broadway" star with poignant messages. Zach Braff, a close friend of Cordero's, shared a photo of the Broadway star with Kloots, and reflected on his passing.
"I have honestly never known a kinder person," Braff wrote. "But Covid doesn't care about the purity of your soul, or the goodness in your heart."
"The last thing he ever texted me was to look out for his wife and one year old son, Elvis," the actor's tribute continued. "I promise the world they will never want for anything. I feel so incredibly grateful I got to have Nick Cordero enter my life."
Florence Pugh, Braff's partner, shared a video of Cordero performing onstage in April 2019. Pugh wrote that Cordero was, "the ONLY person who can ease so effortlessly from 'What A Wonderful World' to Coldplay's 'Politik', all the while singing directly across the room to Amanda."
She pleaded with her fan base to take the coronavirus seriously. "Over the last few months I've wanted to ask myself every day- what can I do to help? But, instead I'll ask all of you. What can WE do to help?" the actress wrote in the caption of her post.
"Help the world by continuing to take this virus seriously," she continued. "Wear your mask, respect others' space, clean your hands and please be safe. This is far from over."

"Sending so much love to the love warrior @amandakloots and little Elvis, and an immense hug to any one who is feeling the loss of this giant heart," she added. "Rest In Peace dear Nick. We love you."
Tony Award-winning performer James Iglehart called Cordero a "wonderful man" and a "wonderful husband."
Actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson asked his followers to do their part in preventing the spread of the virus.
"Can we please do what we need to do as a country to fight this virus together?" he wrote in a tweet. "It doesn't care how healthy you are. It doesn't care if you want to go to Fire Island. It doesn't care if you are tired of wearing a mask. Reign. It. In."
