Brad Everett Young left a lasting mark on the people of Port Charles.
“I’m in complete shock,” Chris McKenna, who plays Jack Brennan on the soap opera, wrote on X—formerly Twitter—Sept. 17. “We just did a shoot a couple weeks ago and we texted this weekend.”
Young, a native of Virginia, began his own acting career in the late ’90s, appearing over the years in small roles on shows such as Boy Meets World and Grey’s Anatomy, as well as films such as Charlie’s Angels and Jurassic Park III.
While he never appeared on General Hospital himself, he photographed several of the cast as well as other actors. Like McKenna, some took part Young’s shoots for his Dream Loud campaign, which aims to bring music and the arts programs back into schools.
One such client, General Hospital alum Jen Lilley, said she “woke up in shock and disbelief” after learning about Young’s death.

Likewise, Parry Shen, who plays Brad Cooper on General Hospital, called Young “one of the kindest & generous people” he had ever met.
