Sudario is survived by his wife, two adult sons and a daughter who turns 16 next week.
Chief Michel Moore announced his death on Monday.
"We mourn his loss as well as those of the others and I'm grateful for their service and sacrifice to this city," Moore said.
Moore says since the beginning of the pandemic, nearly 2,500 LAPD employees - including sworn officers and civilians - have come down with the coronavirus and 700 are still recovering.
