Tony Dow, who starred as Wally Cleaver on the classic sitcom Leave It to Beaver, died Tuesday at age 77.
His death was announced in a Facebook post shared by his management team.
Tony was a beautiful soul kind, compassionate, funny and humble. It was truly a joy to just be around him. His gentle voice and unpretentious manner was immediately comforting and you could not help but love him, the announcement reads.

(51,081 posts)Tony was my favorite Leave it to Beaver kid. Never really liked The Beav. Tony was like The Voice of Wisdom and a wall between Eddie and Beaver. So this is a sad day.

(31,281 posts)Tony Dow is still alive, but the public was only just now made aware of that fact after hours of mourning. Dow's official management shared a death announcement on Tuesday morning. However, it turned out to be false and was only shared after Dow's wife Lauren misspoke about his health status. Before this clarification occurred, his Leave It to Beaver co-star Jerry Mathers offered a heartbreaking message after learning the now-debunked news. Mathers starred as Theodore "The Beaver" Cleaver on Leave It to Beaver, while Dow played his older brother, Wally. Mathers, 74, and Dow, 77, are the last surviving member of the iconic show's original cast.
