Kenneth M. Duberstein, President Ronald Reagan's final White House chief of staff, died at age 77.

Duberstein had been ill and retired from his advocacy firm, The Duberstein Group, Duberstein's wife Jackie told Axios. He died at Sibley Memorial Hospital on Wednesday. Jackie did not reveal the cause of death.Duberstein served in an assortment of business and White House roles during his career. He held several smaller roles in the White House before becoming deputy chief of staff in 1987.

He also was a consultant on Aaron Sorkin's TV show The West Wing.

He also filed a brief supporting gay marriage in the 2013 Supreme Court case of Hollingsworth v. Perry.Duberstein was considered an honorary trustee of the Kennedy Center, an emeritus trustee of Franklin & Marshall College, and a leader of Harvard's Institute of Politics until 2020.
