See James Van Der Beek’s Last Photo With Wife Kimberly Van Der Beek Before His Death

James Van Der Beek spent his last months surrounded by love.

The Dawson’s Creek alum died Feb. 11 after battling colorectal cancer. He was 48.

Less than two months before his death, James’ wife of 15 years Kimberly Van Der Beek posted a sweet photo of the couple enjoying the holiday season on their Texas ranch.

Kimberly captioned the image, which showed James clad in a dark green cardigan and brown jeans as he wrapped his arm around her, “Me and my bae.”

The couple—who married in 2010—shared kids Olivia, 15, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 12, Emilia, 9, Gwendolyn, 7, and Jeremiah, 4.

In the wake of James’ passing, Kimberly posted a family statement praising him as a “loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend.”

“He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace,” read a Feb. 11 post shared to her Instagram. “There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come.”
