JAMES AVERY – SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS

James Avery was regarded as one of the “greatest TV dads of all time” – and for a good reason! His portrayal as the loving and humble lawyer-turned-judge Phillip Banks drew a lot of laughs on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. His characters’ sudden outburst, although very well-meaning, resulted in comical reactions from other characters on the show, including the audience.
His career is a successful one where he appeared in several movies and television series.

Avery’s voice acting was also recognized and is often featured in animated series. Through his experiences both in real life and acting, he was well-regarded and looked up to by several artists in the industry. Life, however, is not all rainbows and sunshine. Avery suffered from many health conditions, including kidney disease, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes. At 68 years old, his time here on Earth was finally up. Reports said it was caused by complications of open-heart surgery. Whatever the case may be, one thing is for sure: James Avery is a legend who continues to live on in the hearts of many.
