The outpouring of love and memories from those who knew Musser, including childhood friends and those he'd met along his journey, is a testament to the impact he had on those around him.
"Seeing how many messages and people have reached out to me from his childhood … In the last couple of days, people I’ve never even met, sending me photos from him from high school and when he was in their wedding … He was so loved and touched by so many people."
It was the dreaded disease we've all been running from. Press added that Musser was suffering from "a severe case of COVID" and said he may have died from the illness.
Musser was born in New York City and raised in New Jersey, Connecticut and San Diego, graduating from the University of San Diego.
Musser's rise to fame came after he clinched the coveted role of "Del Henry" on 'All My Children' in 2005, following his victory on the reality-competition series 'I Wanna Be a Soap Star.' His charismatic presence on the show won him a legion of fans who followed his career onto the big screen, with appearances in 'Road to the Altar' and alongside comedy giant Adam Sandler in 'Grown Ups.'
He also guest starred on the television series 'Rita Rocks' and 'Desperate Housewives.' On top of that, he also had a career in fitness modeling and was a bodybuilder. His Instagram documented his active lifestyle, which included surfing and skiing.
