In January 2013, shortly after same-sex marriage was legalized in Washington state, Stan Cadwallader and Jim Nabors were legally married in Seattle. Their decision to marry received public attention and was praised widely, as it came at a time of growing acceptance of gay marriage across the United States. Nabors, who had long refrained from discussing his sexuality in public, confirmed the marriage in an interview, stating they had been together for nearly four decades.
Jim Nabors passed away at the age of 87 on November 30, 2017, at his home in Honolulu, Hawaii. His death was confirmed by a family spokesperson. Nabors had enjoyed a successful and lengthy career in entertainment, notably for his comedic television roles and baritone singing voice. In addition to his acting, he became an advocate for gay rights in his later years, particularly following his marriage to Cadwallader.
While Stan Cadwallader lived largely outside the limelight, his steadfast support and longtime companionship with Nabors earned him admiration. His life, marked by public service as a firefighter and later by his role in one of television’s most quietly enduring partnerships, reflects dignity, resilience, and a commitment to love in the face of social change.
