Legendary Star Trek actor Peter-Henry Schroeder has passed away at the age of 90. According to the Lake City Veterans Affairs Medical Centre in Florida, the movie star "passed away peacefully," while surrounded by his family on June 7, 2025. The cause of his death is still unknown.
The hospital reported that during Peter's last days, he constantly asked the medical staff: "When are you going to get me out of here. I've got to get back to LA [to work]," per Deadline.
The icon will be laid to rest in LA, with a Military Honors ceremony at the VA National Cemetery. His family requested for fans to share condolences through the Human Animal Life Foundation, instead of gifting flowers.
His memorial page through the animal organization stated: "He lived doing what he loved, and in his own words, 'I had a long and rich life, and I thank God for it.'"
The family added in the note: "Peter-Henry will be remembered as a loving father and grandfather, and his dedication and creativity that illuminated the path for so many. He was a warrior in his last days, where he showed his tenacity to live and his love for the craft."
The message continued: "Peter-Henry Schroeder will return to L.A. as he wished, not to work this time, but instead, leaving behind a legacy that indelibly shaped generations of artists and storytellers."
The actor is survived by his children, Valerie Lynn and Peter Henry II, his grandchildren Peter Henry III and Jarrid Michael, and his daughter-in-law, Felicia Cristiani Bass.
