At the age of 46, comedian, actor, singer, and model Erica Ash passed suddenly. Ash gained notoriety for her parts in the Kevin Hart sitcom Real Husbands of Hollywood, the sitcom Survivor's Remorse, Rosie O'Donnell's The Big Gay Sketch Show, and MadTV.
"After a long and courageous battle with cancer, she transitioned peacefully surrounded by her loved ones," Ash's publicist shared with NPR from a statement her family provided. "With her keen sense of humor, sharp wit, and authentic zest for life, Erica, an incredible woman and gifted performer, touched the lives of countless people." Her legacy will endure forever in our hearts."
Ash made her stage debut in the Broadway production of Baby It's You, the Off-Broadway production of Soul Doctor, and a Disney touring version of The Lion King.
As the daughter of a math teacher and a U.S. Army Captain/Chaplain, Ash moved around a lot as a child, even living briefly in Germany. Despite having a pre-medical degree from Emory University, she had always been drawn to theater. She relocated to Japan to pursue a career as an actor, singer, and model after Emory.
Several performers honored Ash after her death. Siedah Garrett said, "Moved to tears at the passing of beautiful, talented & funny actor from Survivor’s Remorse... Erica generously worked with me on an original jailhouse skit I submitted to Netflix."

"A beacon was Erica Ash. Gorgeous, hilarious, and incredibly gifted," commented Christopher Landon, Ash's director in the motion picture We Have a Ghost. Working with her and being able to call her a friend was a blessing. Right now, my thoughts are with her family and friends."
