Candice Bergen’s husband, Marshall Rose, died on Saturday, February 15. He was 88.

Rose died of Parkinson’s disease complications, according to an obituary published in the New York Times on February 17. The real estate entrepreneur and charity consultant “died peacefully at home in the early hours of February 15, surrounded by loved ones.”

A representative for Bergen, 78, confirmed the news to PEOPLE, mentioning that Rose and the Murphy Brown actor, who married in June 2000, were approaching their 25th wedding anniversary.

Rose “spent his life in New York,” according to the obituary. He was born in Brighton Beach in 1937 and graduated from City College with an economics degree before going on to New York University to study law. His work included directing the construction of Frank Gehry’s IAC building, the refurbishment of Madison Square Garden, and the establishment of three municipal charter schools.

“Marshall’s proudest contribution was his 30-year tenure on the board of the New York Public Library,” he said. “In lieu of flowers, we would appreciate a gift to the New York Public Library, an institution he cherished. Any donations made in his memory (nypl.org/memorial) will go toward adult literacy initiatives at branches throughout the five boroughs.”

Bergen previously married film director Louis Malle from 1980 until his death from cancer at the age of 63 in 1995. According to Architectural Digest, the Oscar nominee and Rose lived in an East Hampton home that was originally built for him and his first wife, Jill, until 2020.

Bergen made it plain during a 2015 interview with her Miss Congeniality co-star Sandra Bullock that her marriage came first.

“I’m not that ambitious,” she said at the time. “I am always grateful when I am given something that interests me, is for a reasonable time, and does not need me to leave my spouse for more than a week or two. That’s all I ask.

Rose’s obituary also characterized him as “a doting dog father to his beloved Goldendoodle Jerry… His family carries on his legacy of fierce compassion, stubborn persistence, and commitment to cheering on the Knicks.” His knowledge, strength, and generosity of spirit will be remembered by the many individuals whose lives he touched.

Rose is survived by Bergen, her daughter Chloe, his children Wendi and Andrew, and numerous grandchildren.
