Patrick Stewart died Wednesday at his Los Angeles home at 86, and tributes spread across film, television and sports after his family disclosed the news Thursday.
A statement on his social media page said he was with wife Sunny and loved ones after a brief struggle with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia.
William Shatner, Wil Wheaton and Marvel Studios praised Stewart's humanity and craft, while Huddersfield Town called their lifelong supporter "a legend and hero to millions worldwide."
Best known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Charles Xavier, Stewart had already built a towering stage career before becoming a defining figure in science-fiction franchises.
His representatives asked well-wishers to honor him with donations to the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Fund and the Alzheimer's Foundation of America Caregiver Resources.
