Wow hexum would have been 63

I remember when I was in nursery school when he passed now I’m 41

I was in nursery school back in “84” when his tragic death happened and I remember when it happened as well especially for me being so young at the time.

I’m now 41 and always wondered how far hexum could have gone.

Very sad

Unfortunately, over the years JEH had become a trivia question and poster boy for the Darwin Awards. However, after I finally took some time to research his biography, I found out that he was actually a very intelligent, talented and thoughtful man. Unfortunately, he just had a tragic moment of frivolity and carelessness, probably perpetuated by exhaustion.

This was a really sweet reflection. I am a definite fan of Jon-Erik Hexum. Despite the tragedy behind the scenes, I appreciate how they handled Jon's death on Cover-Up by having Mac die on a secret mission. I enjoyed that character very much too. Unfortunately, the studio misspelled Jon's name on that original poem.

63 - That's almost unfathomable. I remember being enamored with the actor. Mother helped me write in to become part of his fan club - My first of only two fan clubs.
She was a nurse so she explained in great detail what brain dead meant and why the body was still alive for a few days, and what it meant to 'pull the plug'. It was devastating.

It was a great show..My opinion is that it would have gone on for a second season. It was an original and exciting show with great stories. Better than Bond movies.

Thank you for posting, Michelle. I'm only about two minutes in so far, so I don't know if you end up talking about this, but out of curiosity: did you find Jon-Erik Hexum handsome? If so, how handsome? Just curious to get a woman's view on this.

They spelled his name wrong twice in the tributes. Pathetic. 🙄
