Ford Sterling made the last of his more than two hundred and seventy film appearances in 1936. He died in 1939 of a heart attack in Los Angeles, California and is interred in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Ford Sterling has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6612 Hollywood Blvd.
