Although it was reported that Derek Chavez passed away from what is believed to be a heart attack, neither the Chavez family nor the production team for the show “1923” made the reason for Derek’s passing public.  Since Derek’s passing in January 2023, a number of his present and former coworkers have expressed their condolences and offered their support to Kristen. Many of you are aware that title cards are a major way that television shows like 1923 pay tribute to people who have played important roles in the show’s history.
