Overview
- Hanna-Shuford was diagnosed in summer 2025 with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and peripheral T‑cell lymphoma, a rare and aggressive combination affecting the immune system.
- His lymphoma was reported CD30‑negative, a marker status that limited access to certain targeted therapies during treatment.
- He spent months in the hospital through Thanksgiving and Christmas and previously shared that he was unconscious for three days in the ICU in October.
- He is survived by his husband, Stephen Hanna‑Shuford, and their three-year-old son, Maverick, with the death announced on the couple’s Broadway Husbands Instagram account.
- A GoFundMe launched in August 2025 has raised more than $300,000 with strong support from the Broadway community, as colleagues urge continued help for the family.
