I think so. Lots of people died in World War One, so it's very likely.

^^Yeah being the history nut I am, as soon as I saw a picture of him in uniform I automatically thought "He totally died in WWI."

Yea

Salutes to you! It's nice to see a miltary person in Disney, even if there is a chance that's not how he died. My dad's an air force general and it's nice to see our troops get even the slightest bit of recognition for the battles they fight in.

GO U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!

t seems most obvious but it was kinda sad but we should not fear death.

he was so tired and exhausted all the time so i think he died in illness :(

^^ he did die. i don't like it but he did. Tiana mentioned it to Naveen. she was talking about how her daddy wanted a restaurant, and she said "He died before he could see it happen."

I guess so.

I agree with percyandpotter

Yeah. I feel bad for him, but I am proud because he died defending the USA.

This movie takes place in the 1920s during a time of racism so it’s possible the father was lynched

I often wonder after they were freed under Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and supposedly over came racism, bigotry, slavery why when the work of Reconstruction 1865-1876 when they did overcome why did they let themselves regress to pre civil war days and not migrate back to Africa?
