Tristan passed away from lung cancer a month after his diagnosis was made public. The late actor’s manager, Maryl Sudak, told ABC7 in August 2025 that Tristan «loved being Scorpio, and he created this role out of nothing».

«He was offered to work for one day, and he made it into something huge», - Sudak continued. «He was just genuinely devoted, kind-hearted, and loved his family».

In July 2025, Tristan’s representative announced in a statement that he had lung cancer, although he never smoked.

«While he remains hopeful and closely collaborates with his medical team on a treatment plan, this is a challenging time for Tristan and his family», - the representative’s statement read. «As they face both emotional and physical difficulties, the family requests privacy and understanding. … They are deeply grateful for the support and love from their friends and family».

The representative added that Rogers sends «his love to his fans and wants them to know how much he appreciates their loyalty and support over the years. This support means more to him now than ever».

Tristan’s exact net worth was not determined, as he led a relatively private life. However, several sources estimated Tristan’s net worth at $ 29.8 million.

Rogers married his second wife, Teresa Parkerson, in 1995, and they were together until the end of his life. The late «The Rescuers» star was previously married to his first wife, Barbara Miles, from 1974 to 1984.
