Michael Reagan, the elder son of former President Ronald Reagan
and actress Jane Wyman, has died at 80, according to his
surviving family. He died on Sunday.

The announcement was shared by Young America's Foundation, who
said the organization released the statement on behalf of the
Reagan family.

"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Michael Edward Reagan," his family said in a statement. "Michael
was and will always remain a beloved husband, father, and
grandpa. Michael was called home to be with the Lord on Sunday,
January 4th, surrounded by his entire family in Los Angeles,
California. Our hearts are deeply broken as we grieve the loss
of a man who meant so much to all who knew and loved him. "

"We appreciate your prayers and ask that you would respect our
family's privacy during this difficult time," the statement
concluded.

Reagan was a conservative author, nationally syndicated radio
talk show host and frequent public speaker who spent decades
actively defending and promoting his father's legacy through
close involvement with the Reagan Library and Foundation.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said
it "mourns the passing of Michael Reagan," describing him as
"a steadfast guardian of his father's legacy."

"Michael Reagan lived a life shaped by conviction, purpose,
and an abiding devotion to President Reagan's ideals," the
Foundation said in the statement.

The Foundation also cited President Reagan's own words about
his son from "An American Life," quoting the former president
as writing, "When I read his book, I had even more of a fatherly
pride in Mike than I had had before.... he was happy and at
peace with himself."

Michael Reagan's death marks "a profound loss," the Foundation
said, adding that his "presence, warmth, and unwavering commitment
will be deeply missed at the Reagan Library and far beyond its
walls."

The organization extended condolences to Reagan's family,
including his wife Colleen and children Cameron and Ashley.
