His death was announced by the Dean of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where Tylo was a film professor.

"Michael Tylo was a beautiful and caring human being - he was so special," Nancy Uscher says. "He was an exemplary friend, colleague, teacher, and artist. He had such a distinguished and rich career, but he was humble about his accomplishments."

"He loved his family dearly and lived a joyous life, but he left us way too soon. We will miss him greatly, but feel deep gratitude about all that Michael contributed to the College of Fine Arts, UNLV, and the world."

Tylo began his soap career in 1980 on "Another World". His most famous role was that of Quinton Chamberlain in "Guiding Light".
