Broadway actor, opera singer Quentin Oliver Lee dies aged 34

Quentin Oliver Lee, a New York stage and opera performer who most recently appeared earlier this year in the acclaimed, award-winning Off Broadway production of Heather Christian’s Oratorio for Living Things, has died of colon cancer Thursday, Deadline reported.

He was 34.

“Quentin passed in the wee hours of the morning,” his wife Angie announced on Lee’s Instagram page. “It was the most beautiful moment of my life. I saw his last breaths, held his hand tight, and felt his heartbeat slowly drift away. He had a smile on his face, and was surrounded by those he loves. It was peaceful, and perfect.”

Lee publicly revealed his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis in a GoFundMe post last June.

He is survived by wife Angie and daughter Samantha.
