Cause of death has been confirmed as a gunshot wound, and his family are now hoping they can raise some capital to help make life a little easier for his wife Mackenzie and her family. <\/p>\n
On the GoFundMe page, his family wrote: \u201cOur hearts are profoundly broken by the sudden passing of Josh Grisetti. Josh was a luminous force across Broadway, television, film, and academia, leaving an indelible imprint on the global creative community. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe extraordinary outpouring of love from Los Angeles, New York, Virginia, and beyond stands as a moving testament to the depth of his impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The family\u2019s message noted that the fundraiser stems from the fact that so many had \u201cgenerously\u201d asked how they could provide assistance.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBorn from so many requests, this fund offers a practical way to express your love to Josh\u2019s next of kin,\u201d .<\/p>\n
\nAny financial contribution will go to cover \u201cJosh\u2019s final arrangements\u201d, as well as proving \u201cessential support\u201d for his family shared.<\/p>\n
\nThey added: \u201cYour generosity allows us to focus entirely on grieving and supporting one another rather than navigating administrative strain.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe message also said that \u201cany funds raised that are not used for the express purpose of bringing closure and managing immediate end-of-life logistics will be donated directly to the\u00a0Entertainment Community Fund in Grisetti\u2019s memory. As of this writing, the campaign has raised just over $35,000.<\/p>\n
\nJosh was most well known among TV fans for playing Ralph Emerson in the fifth, final, season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. He was also an established theatre star, appearing on Broadway in shows including Something Rotten! and It Shoulda Been You. <\/p>\n
\nAs well as his acting career, Josh served as head of the Musical Theatre program at California State University. The comments section of Rob\u2019s post was quickly flooded with tributes to Josh, with many of them coming from Broadway stars. While Rachel Zegler kept it simple with a red love heart emoji, Tony-winning actor Donna Murphy wrote: \u201cOh my God Rob. Such truly devastating heartbreaking news. I\u2019m so deeply sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful, gifted human artist. You your family Josh\u2019s family dearest ones are in my heart highest thoughts prayers.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nAs Stephanie J Block-Arcelus added: \u201cWhat a kind and beautiful soul. I am so so sorry for this great loss. Sending you and all those who loved him comfort and strength.\u201d<\/p>\n
