His wife, Teri Ryan, confirmed the news in an emotional post on her Facebook page, saying he “passed peacefully” surrounded by loved ones. "Our Carl has passed on,” she wrote. “And by ‘our’ I mean all of us. He was so special to everyone. We will celebrate his special life and light. No idea how yet, but I know the laughter will flow with the tears. He went peacefully, and we were all there.”

Born November 12, 1953, in Alhambra, California, Ciarfalio went from college wrestler to theme-park stunt performer at Knott’s Berry Farm and Universal Studios before breaking into TV in the early ’80s.
