David Cassidy Dead at 67
The ‘Partridge Family’ star was an icon for boomers
In early 2017 Cassidy again used his platform to openly discuss his recent battle with dementia. Citing a family history with the illness that causes memory loss, he had stopped touring to focus on his family and enjoy the time he had left. His mother suffered from the illness which led to Cassidy's involvement in Alzheimer-related charities and elevating discussion about the illness by publicly sharing his own experiences. He is survived by his two children.
