Michael Reagan, Son of Former US President Ronald Reagan, Dies At 80

Michael Reagan, the eldest son of former President Ronald Reagan and actress Jane Wyman, has died at his Los Angeles home, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute confirmed on Sunday.

Reagan, 80, spent much of his life preserving his father’s legacy as a conservative author and radio talk show host. He was known for defending and promoting the principles of the Reagan administration, which focused on reducing government intervention and helping bring an end to the Cold War.

“Michael Reagan lived a life shaped by conviction, purpose, and an abiding devotion to President Reagan’s ideals,” the foundation said in a statement.

Ronald Reagan passed away in 2004 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
