It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of beloved actor and former wrestler, Taylor Wily, at the age of 56. The news was confirmed by KITV on Thursday, leaving fans and loved ones in shock and mourning.
Wily was most recognized for his roles in popular shows such as Hawaii Five-0 and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. According to host Lina Girl on the latest edition of Island News, he passed away in Hurricane, Utah. She shared the heartbreaking news with viewers, stating, "It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of a Hawaii celebrity, who was also a dear family friend."
For many, Wily was not just a talented actor, but a dear friend and family member. Lina Girl described him as "one of the kindest, gentlest souls," despite his intimidating physical presence. She fondly recalled his signature bear hugs, which could make anyone feel at ease. "My heart is breaking," she added.
The cause of his death has not yet been disclosed, but his former colleague and Hawaii Five-0 creator, Peter M Lenkov, paid tribute to him on social media. In a heartfelt post, Lenkov shared a throwback picture of the two on set and expressed his devastation. "T, as I told you many times, I fell in love with you at the first audition," he wrote. "You charmed me into making you a regular on the show and in my life. You were family, and I will miss you every day, brother."
Lenkov also shared a video montage of their friendship, highlighting the special bond they shared. "When we spoke last week, we laughed at how right you were from Day 1," he wrote. "Five-0 was our dream job, and I was so lucky we got to share that magic together."
