Mia Love’s Cause of Death
Although the family did not explicitly mention the cause of death, it is believed that Mia passed away from glioblastoma, a fast-moving and aggressive form of brain cancer. She was diagnosed in 2022 and given only 10 to 15 months to live. Mia publicly shared her cancer journey in a May 2024 interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, where she revealed that she had been experiencing positive results from a clinical immunotherapy trial.
The news of Mia’s death comes shortly after she confirmed on March 11, 2025, that her cancer had stopped responding to treatment. She shared this update in an open letter published by Deseret News.
“My dear friends, fellow Americans and Utahns,” Mia wrote. “I am taking up my pen, not to say goodbye but to say thank you and express my living wish for you and the America I know.”
“My battle with brain cancer is coming to an end. The disease is no longer responding to treatment and my family and I have shifted our focus from treatments, to enjoying every moment and making memories with the time we have. My life has been extended by exceptional medical care, science and extraordinary professionals who have become dear friends. My extra season of life has also been the result of the faith and prayers of countless friends, known and unknown. The result of such humble faith and pleading prayers have been felt by me and my family in ways too numerous to count. I have always believed that faith and science are inextricably interconnected.”
She added, “In the end, I hope that my life will have mattered and made a difference for the nation I love and the family and friends I adore. I hope you will see the America I know in the years ahead, that you will hear my words in the whisper of the wind of freedom and feel my presence in the flame of the enduring principles of liberty.”
