Actor Mike Heslin, who appeared in Taylor Sheridan’s” Special Ops: Lioness” and created the comedy series” The Influencers”, died suddenly earlier this week, three weeks shy of his 31st birthday.
” On July 2nd, my spouse, best friend, and partner passed away from an sudden cardiac function after a month- long battle in the hospital”, Heslin’s husband, Scotty Dynamo, said on Instagram Friday. ” Michael was young, in excellent health, and the doctors have no reason for what happened”.
At the time of , Heslin’s death, the pair, who , wed last November, were “in the earlier stages of starting a home”, Dynamo said.
” You always told me that you felt like you were meant to be a dad, and I could n’t agree more. You would be the nation’s most excellent dad”, Dynamo wrote. I’m going to name my child after you and wish to lift him to become at least half the person you are if I actually become a father.
Describing Heslin as” the most generous and giving person”, Dynamo said it “brings ]him ] peace” knowing his husband has “given the gift of life to four different families” through his wish to be an organ donor.
A , GoFundMe , set up to help with hospital and funeral costs had already raised nearly$ 49, 000 of its$ 75, 000 goal as of early Saturday afternoon.
In addition to his work on ,” Lioness”  , — which also starred Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldana and Morgan Freeman — Heslin had roles in” 7 Deadly Sins”,” Younger” and, most recently, the TV movie” The Holiday Proposal Plan”.
