Marshall Rose, a highly respected real estate developer and the devoted husband of actress Candice Bergen, has passed away at the age of 88. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his loved ones.
Rose, widely recognized for his contributions to the real estate industry, passed away on Saturday due to complications from Parkinson’s disease. His death was confirmed in an obituary published by The New York Times on Monday.
He was remembered as a “dedicated father and grandfather” who set “high expectations for those around him.” His family also highlighted his legacy of “fierce compassion, stubborn persistence, and unwavering support for the Knicks.”
Rose married Candice Bergen in 2000, five years after the passing of her first husband, filmmaker Louis Malle. While the couple did not have children together, he warmly embraced Bergen’s daughter, Chloe Malle, as his own. His obituary listed his surviving family members, including his children, stepdaughter, and grandchildren.
A funeral service for Rose is scheduled for Tuesday at Central Synagogue at noon. In lieu of flowers, his family has requested donations to the New York Public Library, an institution he deeply valued.
In a 2015 interview, Bergen recalled her first meeting with Rose, describing him as a “handsome, present man” with “beautiful eyes” and noting that she “trusted him completely.” She later called him the “perfect husband.”
Marshall Rose will be remembered for his wisdom, strength, and generosity, leaving a lasting impact on those who knew him.
