Yes, the 6' 9" actor (who also played the title role in Harry and the Hendersons) was married to Alaina Reed (Rose) in real-life, too. He
died of AIDS, at age 35, in 1991.

Thanks for the correction. I thought he was over 7 feet tall. I think he was
6' 9" when he was in his teens.

He was in a really bad car accident in the fall of 1990 (shortly after (https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/i-had-no-idea-this-227-sitcom-actor-passed-away.909153/) 227 ended its run) and he needed a blood transfusion. Unfortunately, the transfusion caused him (https://forums.sherdog.com/threads/getting-aids-from-a-blood-transfusion-must-be-one-of-the-most-depressing-ways-to-die.4194927/page-3) to become infected with HIV and he wound up dying (https://www.nytimes.com/1991/04/13/obituaries/kevin-peter-hall-actor-35.html) from AIDS-related complications in the spring of 1991.

Very sad. Blood screening for HIV in blood donations and transfusions in hospitals started in 1987. However it was not until 1992 that it was fail safe.
