Family Matters Cast: Which Actors In The Sitcom Have Died

It's always sad to hear about a cast of favorite actors who have died, but at least the list of Family Matters cast members who have passed away is mercifully small. One of the best sitcoms of the 1990s, Family Matters is a spinoff of the notably less popular Perfect Strangers, focusing on the Winslow family. The African-American middle-class family lives in Chicago, Illinois, and is headed by the family patriarch, Carl Otis Winslow (Reginald VelJohnson), a police officer with the Chicago Police Department, and a kind but often irritated man.
