Pretty upset about this one. Seen so many of his movies.

Interestingly, it looks like his mother survives him! She lives in Charlotte, NC and will turn 91 in December. Sadly this is not the first child she's outlived. Her son Donald Todd died in 2015.

I hope he can rest in peace after his long battle,  I hate that some people have to suffer so long with cancer.  It truly is vial.

Air Bud creator, Kevin DiCiccio, living homeless with severe COPD.

Apparently Disney didn't give him enough money to really live off of, which is weird considering there are literally well over a dozen films in the franchise...

If nothing else, how do you go through school/life being called Huckleberry Fox.

He apparently became a well respected figure at the US Department of Agriculture.

@arghton 

Elaine V. Merk (correct spelling) b. 19 Dec 1930, married George A. Binder in 1959. Has attended reunions, often as "Elaine Merk Binder".

Living in Alhambra, CA as recently as 2018. Could've died since then, though the Oz community is generally as sharp as anything. 

Valerie Lee Shepard b. 14 Dec 1931 as Lois Valerie Shepard. Now goes by the name of Lois V. Haynes. Still signing autographs in 2018 and notes on StarTiger suggest she was alive in late 2020, residing in Reseda, CA.

Viola Faye White b. 12 Jan 1930, later became Viola Faye Banks, but she died on 8 Jan 2000 (aged 69) in Nebraska.

So (assuming none of them have died off radar in the last few years), there are 7 living cast members, 6 of whom were child actresses.

Elaine Merk apparently alive in a nursing home aged 94. Could be total bullshit but seems legit.

Thanks for this. Yeah, seems legit though the poster is wrong about her being the last.
