Cash's wife, Celia DeCosta Cash, confirmed his passing in a Facebook post, sharing, "This is so hard. I'm not even sure what to say, or for that matter, what to do. I just lost my best friend, my sidekick, my lover, my mentor, my absolute everything, this morning. I'm so sad to say, my husband, Steve Cash took his own life this morning 4/16/2020. It hurts me to share this. Please understand, give the family time to grieve, but know that Steve is no longer in pain."

A few months prior, a fan noticed that Cash had been more active on social media. In response, Cash shared, "Nah, just bipolar. I'm on a manic up right now. When I go back into depression I'll vacate everything."
