Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night Passes Away at 83 – Cause of Death Confirmed

The disease, which includes emphysema among its manifestations, made touring and sustained live shows difficult. Negron acknowledged in interviews that his health challenges eventually forced him to step back from the stage.

In the final months of his life, heart failure compounded his long‑term pulmonary struggles, and he spent his last days at home, surrounded by loved ones.

Reconciliation and Family

After years apart, Negron and his former bandmate Danny Hutton reconciled in 2025, exchanging apologies and reconciling decades of estrangement.

Their reunion was described as timely and heartfelt, a final closure to a chapter that had once been fractured by tension, hurt, and the ravages of addiction.

In his personal life, Negron shared a deep bond with his family. He married his longtime partner Ami Albea Negron in a private ceremony in 2020, and together they navigated his later years with love and devotion.

Negron also had five children: Shaunti Negron Levick, Charles “Chuckie” Negron III, Charlotte Negron, Annabelle Negron, and Berry Oakley Jr. — whom he raised as a son after his marriage to Berry Oakley’s mother.
