Hallmark Stars Who Died |
By Emily Ross
Michael Kopsa became a well-known Hallmark star for his participation in movies such as "Valentine in the Vineyard," "Marrying Father Christmas," "Love in Winterland," "Summer in the Vineyard," and "Finding Father Christmas." However, many of his fans may also remember him for his role in "The X-Files," "Highlander," and "Smallville."
In October 2022, his wife Lucia Fragione shared the news through an Instagram post. Although her post is now gone, fans still remember the way in which she honored him, "The great Michael Kopsa, my dear friend and the father of my child, Nora, passed away Oct. 23, 2022, of a brain tumor. He was an incredible stage and screen actor, voice actor, carpenter, musician and painter. Most importantly, he was a loving and richly present father" (via Soap Opera News). In the same post, she shared with the world some of Kopsa's last words to her, "'Sorry,' he said, 'to not be able to show up for us,'" (via CNN).
The Hallmark channel took to social media as well to pay tribute to Kopsa. In an Instagram post with a photo of one of his many characters, they wrote: "A friend and colleague to many, today we honor the legacy of Michael Kopsa. Always in our hearts."
