Farewell to Patrick Stewart, the Star Trek and X-Men actor. Stewart was 86 and died after a battle with Alzheimer's.

Famous for his role as Jean-Luc Picard, first captain and then admiral of the Star Trek starships in film and television, he also starred in the X-Men film saga as Professor Charles Xavier. These two iconic performances have spanned generations, shaping the characters in a highly recognizable way.

The statement posted on his official social media accounts announcing his passing reads: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away yesterday at his home in Los Angeles, surrounded by the loving care of his beloved wife, Sunny, at the end of a short but touching journey marked by Alzheimer's disease and Lewy Body Dementia. He was enveloped in the warm embrace of family and friends, surrounded by live music, prayers, tears, laughter, and the kind of profound emotion that only he could evoke, after a life dedicated entirely to all of us."
