Evelyn Lozada shared a birthday message to her stepfather who she says recently died from COVID-19.

The good news is, hundreds of thousands of people have recovered from COVID-19. The tragic news is, people still continue to lose their lives due to complications connect with the illness. Recently, Karl-Anthony Towns lost his mother, Jacqueline Cruz-Towns, to COVID-19 just days ago; Jazz legend and Marsalis family patriarch Ellis Marsalis died from coronavirus; and Tyler Perry shared that his longtime hairstylist to the stars, Charles Gregory Ross, passed away from the virus.
