David Ogden Stiers Has Passed Away

Meilin Lee · Mar 3, 2018

David Ogden Stiers, an actor known to Disney fans as the voice of several notable characters such as Cogsworth and Jumba, two roles he reprised in the Kingdom Hearts series (as well as playing the role of Doc on 'Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep'), has sadly passed away after battling bladder cancer at the age of 75 in his home in Newport, Oregon. Surely, his death will hit those of his who've heard his voice over the years pretty hard. And it is sad to know that should his characters (whether they be returning, like Cogsworth and Jumba, or new ones like Governor Ratcliffe or Fenton Q. Harcourt) appear in the Kingdom Hearts series in the future, he won't be the one voicing them.

Rest In Peace David Ogden Stiers

While I don't know what will happen with Cogsworth and the other characters, but at least Jumba is in good hands with Jess Winfield.

RIP, Mr. Stiers. You have given many of us quite a lot of memories, not only within the Disney universe but also in M*A*S*H.

I knew Stiers mostly from MASH since I grew up watching it. Alongside Hawkeye, his "MAJOR CHARLES EMERSON WINCHESTER THE THIRD" was my favorite character and the seasons he was in the show were easily MASH's best seasons. He even made an appearance in Star Trek The Next Generation where his character had a tragic fate.

Rest in peace, David Ogden Stiers.
