In the days before his tragic passing, Robert Carradine remained active on Instagram and continued recording episodes for his podcast.
Earlier this month, the late actor promoted interviews from his “Party Nerds Pop-Cast” featuring Christopher Atkins and Jesse Hutch. He also shared a group photo with guest Don Wilson on February 3.
“Don Wilson shared a lot of cool stories on this week’s episode!” Carradine told his followers at the time.
The “Lizzie McGuire” alum posted images showing himself on a couch with Wilson and another smiling photo alongside his co-host Richard Gabai.
The podcast had its inception in July 2025. In tribute, Gabai, 62, shared a photo without a caption on his Instagram Story Monday, just hours after the news of the “Revenge of the Nerds” star’s death emerged.
Carradine’s final public appearance was in November 2025 when he walked the “3 Killer Pigs” red carpet.
Carradine suited up for the event, pairing a charcoal blazer with an all-black ensemble.
The former Disney Channel star’s family broke the news of his passing with “profound sadness” on Monday with a statement to Deadline.
“In a world that can feel so dark, Bobby was always a beacon of light to everyone around him,” Carradine’s loved ones wrote.
“We are bereft at the loss of this beautiful soul and want to acknowledge Bobby’s valiant struggle against his nearly two-decade battle with bipolar disorder,” they added.
“We hope his journey can shine a light and encourage addressing the stigma that attaches to mental illness,” the statement concluded.
Social media tributes for Carradine have been pouring in from both his former co-stars and his famous family members.
“Goonies” alum Martha Plimpton — Carradine’s niece — gushed that her “dear, and loving, and nonjudgmental” uncle was full of “inherent kindness” and she will “miss [him] enormously.”
As for Hilary Duff, who played Carradine’s daughter on “Lizzie McGuire” for two seasons, wrote, “This one hurts. It’s really hard to face this reality about an old friend.”
