The “Walking Dead” family and TV community are grieving the loss of Amy Blanc Lacy, a beloved script supervisor whose career spanned more than three decades. Lacy suffered catastrophic injuries in a September 1 car accident and was taken off life support on September 5, her family confirmed.
Her niece shared on Facebook that Lacy had been riding with her two sons, Adrian and Oliver, when their car was struck at high speed. The boys were treated for minor injuries and released, but Lacy sustained severe brain and spinal trauma that left her in a coma. In accordance with her wishes, she was later removed from life support.
The family also revealed Lacy was an organ donor, with more than 46 people expected to receive lifesaving transplants as her final gift.
Cast & Colleagues Pay Emotional Tributes
Lacy’s impact was felt deeply among the “Walking Dead” cast. Khary Payton, who played King Ezekiel, shared a photo of himself hugging her and wrote, “Amy. You’ve always been an angel. I’ll be looking for you in all the little beautiful things. Love and miss you.”
Ross Marquand, who plays Aaron, posted, “We lost a dear member of the Walking Dead family this week. Beloved by all, a friend to everyone…easily one of the kindest, most loving souls I’ve ever met. Please join me in sending love and support to her family.”
Other tributes poured in from Emily Kinney, Briana Venskus, and “Sons of Anarchy” star David LaBrava. Chandler Riggs’ mother, Gina Ann, also honored her, calling her “the absolute sweetest person on set.”
Fans also poured in condolence messages. A comment read: “Thinking of you all in this difficult time. Thinking of Amy & all the wonderful memories I have of her. I can’t believe this has happened. I am so sorry for all of the family & friends. She will be missed so much! She truly was a light in this world. 💔💔🤍🤍”

A Bright Light Beyond ‘Walking Dead’
Producer Erin Lee Carr, who worked with Lacy on the upcoming Hulu series “Murdaugh: Death in the Family,” shared a touching tribute.
“We lost one of the all-time greats today: Amy Lacy…She always had a hug, a giggle, and a new fact to share. She treated everyone with absolute kindness,” Carr wrote. “Amy, I will be looking to take you to the gay bar in heaven, and we will dance the night away.”
“Murdaugh” star Brittany Snow added, “Many times did I say to myself I wanna be more like Amy. Incredible soul.” Actor Patch Darragh commented, “She was indeed very special,” while Ryan Paynter wrote, “She was such a light on set. May she rest in peace.”
A Lasting Legacy in Film & Television
Lacy began her career in the 1990s with credits on “In the Heat of the Night.” She went on to work on projects including “Something to Talk About,” “SeaQuest 2032,” “Rosewood,” “Franklin & Bash,” “Halt and Catch Fire,” “Loki,” and “Kingdom Business.”
Her family described her as “a radiant and beautiful presence in the film community” in a GoFundMe set up to help with expenses.
The page reads, “Amy raised three wonderful children, filling their lives with joy, laughter, and dance. In a tragic accident, we will lose her, leaving her family to navigate this tremendous loss. Let’s come together to support her children during this difficult time.”
As tributes continue to pour in, Lacy is remembered not only for her professionalism and talent but for her warmth, kindness, and generosity, qualities that made her beloved on every set she touched.
